The Horned Frogs normally face their nonconference opponents before beginning the Big 12 schedule. That isn’t the case this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Saturday’s contest against Louisiana Tech will nevertheless be another litmus test of how far TCU has come after starting the 2020 campaign 1-3 overall and winless at home.
Oklahoma and West Virginia’s canceled football game bodes well for the Horned Frogs in the Big 12 standings. With Kansas State losing last weekend, TCU cannot finish below fifth place with its 5-4 conference record. An Oklahoma State loss against Baylor will bump the Horned Frogs up to fourth.
