Cap clash: TCU vs. Air Force

Coach Woody closes out the FP season at 2:30 on Saturday as his TCU Horned Frogs (9-2) host the Air Force Falcons (4-7) in Fort Worth.

This tilt should set the stage for the FP finale later in the day when Coach Bando's West Virignia Mountaineers take the field. After scaring Woody to death in early October, the Frogs have reeled off six straight wins and are coming off two straight blowouts (combined margin: 94-14). They are enforcing their will on Mountain West opponents and should continue the trend on Saturday.

Air Force has gone decidedly south since terrifying the Vols in September. The Falcons have lost three in a row, including last week's 42-39 collapse against a terrible UNLV team. Air Force can't wait for the season to end, and the only question is whether they've already decided it's over.

TCU comes into the game as a 14-point favorite and should whip the Falcons. If the Frogs combine with the Cards to help Woody close out the season 2-0, all the marbles come down to Bando's last game. Both coaches will be on pins and needles come game time if that turns out to be the case.

Woody is studying his Horned Frogs to see if they can stop the triple option threat. The Vols barely could, so can the Frogs?

I think the Falcons are a much different (and worse) team than they were three months ago. I guess we'll see.

I sure hope things come down to the West Virginia game. It'd be a shame to see things decided earlier.
