Big 12 Week Five Preview

Texas (3-1, 1-0) seems to have gotten its season back on track after getting demolished by Arkansas a few weeks back. For one, Arkansas is a much better team than many expected. Another reason for Texas’s resurgence is they switched quarterbacks from Hudson Card to Casey Thompson. Casey Thompson has been electric, completing 77.8% of his passes for 565 yards, 8 touchdowns, and two interceptions. That’ll be a problem for TCU (2-1, 0-0), whose defense looked surprisingly bad against SMU in their 42-34 loss. Gary Patterson will certainly be working to improve that side of the ball, but for now I doubt they’ll be able to tighten that up in one week against what might be a new offensive juggernaut (just ask Texas Tech).
