Saturday’s College Football odds matchup between TCU and West Virginia is one between descending programs. Coach Gary Patterson is the GOAT of TCU head coaches. To show, he made the Horned Frogs good enough to earn an invite to the P5 Big 12 Conference. For years the Frogs were a top-tier Big 12 team. Since 2017 TCU has been steadily declining, and Patterson is feeling the pressure. So too is Neal Brown in coaching quicksand at West Virginia. Brown lacks the charisma and offense is his predecessor, Dana Holgorsen. Most important of all, Brown lacks Dirty Dana’s record.
