This week, TCU may look to throw the ball more than they have, as they are below the NCAA
average in pass attempts per game but rank well in yards per completion. In addition, they should
have plenty of time to work the ball down the field, with Texas ranking just 92nd in sacks per
contest.

down.

at a rate of just 64.6%.
