Utah did not agree to this.
It was expected to beat the Big 12 like the big, bad, nasty Pac-12 team, but it lost to Arizona at home without putting up a fight and to Arizona State on the road last week.
But if they lose at home to TCU, they are done for the Big 12 season. They still have to play Iowa State, Colorado, and BYU.
TCU has lost three of its last four games, and most of those losses were because of problems on defense. There is still time to win the Big 12 race, but three of the next four games must be played at home.

Why TCU Will Win

It is Isaac Wilson’s turn to play quarterback now that regular quarterback Cam Rising is out. There have been times when he was good, but he has also made seven interceptions.
TCU will let the Utes get some passing yards, but they will run the ball a lot. That being said, the trouble is…
Why Utah Will Win
TCU is not very good at stopping the run.
It was terrible against UCF and SMU, but not so bad against Kansas and Houston.
Utah has not been working hard on the ground like it usually does. It blows past 30 carries when it is going well, going 4-0 when it runs 37 times or more and 0-2 when it runs 33 times or less.
This year, no one has run less than 34 times against TCU, so…
TCU vs Utah: Who Will Win
The lines will look good, but it will not mean Utah is back to normal.
The defense will hold strong against TCU’s failing ground game, the running game will gain 200 yards, and three key points will be useful.
