Following TCU’s loss to hated cross-town rival SMU, things really blew up. TCU coach Gary Patterson accused SMU of attacking his assistant Jerry Kill. Also, he raged that the Mustangs planted a flag on the TCU 50-yard line. All of which is under considerable dispute. But the greater lesson is that Patterson is feeling the strain. Since 2017, the greatest coach in TCU history has seen his program struggle. Of great concern is that the once-vaunted TCU defense has become a sieve. This week comes a tricky betting on College Football matchup at Texas Tech.
