most in college football. This week, they will be taking that offense up against a defensive unit
allowing an average of 21.78 points per game.
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.

attempts per game and will be facing a TCU defense that is allowing opponents to complete passes
at a rate of just 64.6%.
