The TCU Horned Frogs did not get their anticipated start in Week 1. This week, they get a chance to get back on track as they host the Nicholls State Colonels on Saturday, September 9 at 11 a.m. The game will be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth and can be seen on Big 12 Now on ESPN+

This is the first time the two schools will meet on the football gridiron. 

No point spread has yet been released, but the Frogs are expected to be significant favorites. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 1, our entire staff picked TCU, so everyone enters Week 2 at 0-1. And for Week 2, once again, our entire staff has also selected TCU.
