Comments about ‘BYU football: TCU's terrific trio fuel Frogs' bid to bust the BCS’

And payback time for BYU!

Yeah, Max has trouble in big games.

Remember all the trouble he had for Utah on 4-and-18?

And, all the trouble he had for Oklahoma on that 16-play, 78-yard drive, where he found a wide-open McKay Jacobson in the back of the end zone with 3:03 left in the fourth to put BYU ahead for good?

I'm looking forward to Max having similar trouble for TCU tomorrow evening!

Go COUGS!

Kind of puts you in a bind. Support BYU because that's your team, or support TCU because you want to poke the BCS in the eye. In any case, will BYU choke again while on the national stage?

TCU has a well balanced team this year and don't forget we had our share of heart ache after the Utah game - that has left a bitter taste in our mouth for a year too. This team is going to come out fighting and will not under estimate BYU, there is too much on the line and too much leadership on the team to do so.

GO FROGS!

... and the 8 interceptions thrown in 3 losses to TCU, Utah and Arizona. Yep, big game Max on stage tomorrow

"The Cougars are wary of Dalton's ability to throw and pass . . ." What about his ability to rush and run? Hahahahaha. No proofreading?

TCU is scary good. I would be surprised if the didn't beat Utah & BYU. BYU is motivated & anything can happen. Go Cougs! GO UTES!

Thank goodness Manase is back. He could be the difference in this game. He is a fantastic blocker and brings intensity to the offense. Step up Cougar D. If the cougars win Saturday it would almost assure them atleast a share of the conference title. I think BYU needs to realy use their tite ends in this game. Keep the backs in the backfield and release the tite ends. Protection is going to be huge.

Serious? Looks like you forgot last season, but I suppose it is convenient:)

BYU goes down big time-we have seen it time after time with BYU, SPEED KILLS and BYU doesn't seem to have much of it.

Cougars will fall at home and prove why they are once again not contenders but pretenders.

Go Fougars.

schedule than Utah. They have talent. They are also beatable. You would think that the BYU defense would be prepared for the "Wildcat" by now. You would also think that they would have some quick release plays that were not predictable and obvious.

This really comes down to two things.

Coaching-strategy,preparation and adjustment.

Execution-will BYU show up and play?

If BYU gets a decent defensive effort and the offensive play calling is not totally predictable they should be able to outscore TCU.

Trueblue and his quality BYU education, giving us words of wisdom and his grasp of football knowledge based on his level of education.

The FROGS WIN by 3 td's.......Hall throws 4 int's. 1 for a pick 6. Tobad the faithfull will not see the game on tv. You need to go to a bar with comcast or dish...good luck.......

I hope the game is in the 20's and cold with snow and wind. If the game time is below freezing and if the cougars don't turn the ball over it should give us a chance.

Go Cougs!

"Looks like you forgot last season, but I suppose it is convenient:)"

No!

But, we also haven't forgotten 2006 and 2007 when the Cougars swept TCU and Utah in back to back seasons.

Convenient! :)

This will be the test of wills. Will BYU win or TCU win? It will end up helping us determine which team wants the win and what they will do to get the win. BYU knows what TCU can do on offense and on defense. I am sure that BYU will try to negate the fearsome threesome as much as possible.

BYU was embarassed last year down there in Texas. I, personally, do not feel that BYU wants TCU to come up here and do a number on them on our home turf, in Edwards Stadium.

This will be a very interesting game. It will be determined by turnovers and the tempo of the game. Both teams will be prepared. May the best team win!!!

In my case, Go Cougars!!! Show TCU what you can do to take them out of their rhythm of the game. Remember one game at a time and one play at a time. Control the flow of the game, no turnovers, and come out with a win for BYU. Teamwork will go a long way especially in this game, on the defensive side and the offensive side. Go Cougars!!!! Go big Blue!!!!

byu is so much better then the horn frogs. I can't believe people are saying the game will be close. Bronco will have them winning this game so much.

only 3 games in to the conference season an you're already talking conference championship. After TCU we still play at Wyoming and have Air Force and utah at home. A lot of football still to play

Key to the game is how well BYU runs the ball. If they can run it on TCU, by using their size up front, their tight ends and their power running backs, BYU can keep TCU's offense off the field and ware down the TCU D. BYU should pass a few times to keep they frogs honest, but in the end it will be the run game that will make the difference. If BYU can't run on them, then the game goes the frogs way. BYU defens will struggle against the frog's running QB.

Speed kills..........TCU has it and we do not. I watched USC with Norm Chow for many years run the BYU offense with speed, and look at that program. Hopefully, we can force turnovers and the offense will be on it' " A " game. Otherwise, it could be a long homecoming game.

I hate to say it, but Anae has already guaranteed a loss. He just said that this game is not about scheme, it is about execution. Translation, I do not have a dedicated, well thought out game plan for TCU. It makes me sick. A coaches job is to have a game plan specific to each opponent and to ADJUST as needed through out the game. Anae's marriage to execution, rather than scheme will pretty much guarantee: no play action, no quick snaps, no trick plays, no misdirection, no series for Nelson. This likely loss will be a coaching loss--AGAIN. Be prepared for numerous bone-head play calls and no adjustment by BYU to counter TCU's schemes. Same thing goes for Hill and his defensive preparation. A big unknown that will have a huge impact on the game is Tonga vs TCU. Hughes is a beast but Tonga is also exceptional. When Tonga is in, BYU is a dramaticly better team.

is that BYU will handle TCU. Good football team but there's more pressure on TCU to bring home the win (they are favored, trying to go unbeaten) and they will not live up to it. I want BYU to win because that's my team but I have to admit that I want TCU to win to stay unbeaten and have a shot at BCS busting for the MWC, too. Either way, should be a great game with a lot on the line for both teams.
