Why does BYU get the credit? TCU has been destroying teams all season.

They lost badly at OU, and played sluggish in a few games. BYU deserves no credit, but TCU took new energy from destroying BYU, that's what I meant.

Sluggish against Stanford, lost at OU and sluggish against CSU, and now they are on a roll after destroying us.

Because I don't see a 35-10 loss to OU and a 13-7 meager win over CSU as proof of destroying everyone. Stephen F. Austin and SMU don't count as they are lower than low.

A mild win over Stanford. However, they came out of our terrible game fully energized. What is plain wrong with this assertion? You think a loss and a six point win is destroying everyone?

Also game was fairly close before Clayton went down with an injury for UNLV.

I actually didn't think TCU played too terribly against OU. They got down 21-0 early and then made a few adjustments in coverage and played even with OU. I think TCU is talented enough and playing well enough right now to be a legitimate top 10 team. No offense to BYU or Utah, but neither of those teams were IMO legit top 10 teams this year. Neither is Boise.

Absolutely. I said after the game that they were very impressive on defense and that they were not a team to overlook. I'll be curious to see how they do in their bowl game. Having already faced top-ten competition, and having gained confidence throughout the season, I'd expect a strong performance.

yes the score indicates that. I thought that after the first quarter they played Oklahoma very well. The got rocked to start the game but settled down and played them very well the final 3 quarters.

TCU is a damn good football team.
