FWST: Five storylines for No. 21 TCU vs. Oklahoma
BY JIMMY BURCH jburch@star-telegram.com
A long-anticipated showdown between Big 12 front-runners looms Saturday in Fort Worth between No. 21 TCU (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) and Oklahoma (1-2, 0-0), the defending league champion.
The teams were projected to finish first and second in a July poll made up of media members who regularly cover the Big 12. Of the 26 ballots cast, 24 identified Oklahoma as the eventual league champion. The other two first-place votes went to TCU.
The teams meet at 4 p.m. Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium (KDFW/Channel 4). While each team has experienced some September struggles in nonconference action, neither has lost in conference play. So Big 12 title implications remain in full force heading into the contest.
