UNLV at TCU

What a disappointment this season has been for TCU. A team that was supposed to have a chance at an undefeated season and an early shot to pull off the shocker at Texas, has resulted in a mediocre 5-5 season. Last year they ran the table in their last eight, finishing 8-0 and outscoring the opponent 281-86. What a difference a year makes. This year's team has given up 90 points in their last four games! So where does the motivation come from, playing at home vs. a team that has lost six straight? Discounting the Hawaii game, who is in a class by themselves on this level, UNLV has only dropped one game by as many as this line, as bad as they have been. Their offense has improved of late. They have out-gained their last three opponents by 1307-1179. The fact is they have out-gained six of ten opponents, shutout Utah, and led Wisconsin late in the 4th. They can score enough points to stay in this game, especially against an unmotivated opponent. We like the generous points in this one and will back the Rebs.
