Texas Christian 28 - 20 Arkansas (2:05 left in 4th Quarter)

Texas Christian kept the ball on the ground more often this time, in order to use up more clock, but the result was the same.  Kenny Hill dashed in from five yards out, and Texas Christian had its third touchdown in three possessions.

I don't really think that Arkansas started doing anything different, or that Texas Christian had some type of new strategy.  All I can tell you is that when Texas Christian really, absolutely, has to score -- especially at home -- they score.  Period.  I've seen it happen over and over and over.  And that's why they've dominated the UCFC.

So let's look at what's ahead.  Next week Texas Christian hosts Iowa State, which is basically a walkover.  Then they'll go to Southern Methodist.  They'll probably give up at least 35 points, since they'll be on the road, but they won't lose to Southern Methodist.  Then they'll host Oklahoma.  Now it's possible that Oklahoma will just crush them -- but I don't think that's likely, especially with Texas Christian at home.  And if Texas Christian wins that game, then they go to Kansas -- which should be another easy win.

And then, on October 22, the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs will travel to Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia for a game with the West Virginia Mountaineers.  If Texas Christian still has the Big Gold Trophy, they will be 6-0 with a win over Oklahoma, so they will probably be in the top five.  West Virginia will be fired up, and that will be a wild and dangerous game for the Frogs.
