The TCU Horned Frogs (5-4, 3-3) play their penultimate home game of the season on Saturday night when they host the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-6, 0-6). The game is at 6 p.m. on Saturday and can be seen on FS1.

This will be the 34th meeting between the two programs. The Pokes have a 17-14-2 advantage in the series, however the Frogs have a 9-5-2 edge in games played in Fort Worth. Since TCU joined the Big 12 in 2012, OSU holds a 6-5 advantage. The two teams did not meet in 2023.

The last time the two teams played, it was a thriller. It was in 2022, during the National Championship season. TCU trailed by as many as 17 points before taking its first lead of the game in the first overtime when Max Duggan hit Quentin Johnston on a 25-yard scoring pass. No. 13 TCU defeated No. 8 OSU 43-40 in double overtime.

The Frogs will be wearing their "spit blood" uniforms for this game. These unis debuted in 2019 when the Frogs found themselves in a must-win game over Texas. Since then, the uniforms come out for one must-win game each year. TCU must win this game to become bowl eligible. The Frogs are 4-1 when wearing the spit blood unis with wins in 2019 (Texas; 37-27), 2021 (Baylor; 30-28); 2022 (OSU, 43-40 2 OT), and 2023 (Baylor; 42-17). The only loss came to Kansas State in 2020 (21-14).

Will the unis bring good mojo to the team? Our staff believes they will. For the 5th time this season, our writers are unanimous in picking TCU to win. Our average margin is 10+ points.

Last week, thanks to Baylor's walk-off field goal, Brett was the closest with his prediction of Baylor 34 - TCU 31 (actual was Baylor 37 - TCU 34). With that win, Brett remains on top of our leaderboard through nine games.
