TCU Football vs.West Virginia: Staff Predictions And Game Previews
The TCU Horned Frogs (3-1, 1-0) retained the Iron Skillet last week, beating SMU 34-17. This week, it's back to Big 12 Conference play as they host the West Virginia Mountaineers (3-1, 1-0) for their fourth home game in September. The game will be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth on Saturday, September 30, at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on ESPN2.
This will be the 13th time the two teams have met on the gridiron. West Virginia leads the all-time series 7-5. All but one of those meetings, the 1984 Bluebonnet Bowl, has come since the two teams began Big 12 play together in 2012.
TCU running back Emani Bailey carries the ball against West Virginia in the 2022 game in Morgantown.
