“College GameDay” is heading back to Austin, Texas, for a Big 12 game with massive College Football Playoff implications — at least, for the visiting team.
No. 4 TCU is the last remaining undefeated team in the Big 12, and one of only four such teams left in the FBS as of Week 11 (the other three being Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan). If the Horned Frogs want to make the Playoff for the first time in 2022, they’ll have to ensure an undefeated season. That starts this week against No. 18 Texas.
Horned Frogs quarterback Max Duggan (2,407 passing yards, 24 touchdowns to two interceptions) will lead the charge against Texas on Saturday. He might not be the biggest name on the field, but his play this season has been central to TCU’s success. How he competes against counterpart Quinn Ewers will have a huge say in how the game plays.
With that, The Sporting News has everything you need to know about the “College GameDay” visit to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday:
