It's almost game day! Football season is back. Friday night, the TCU Horned Frogs kick off the Sonny Dykes Era with a road game against another Power Five program when they take on the Colorado Buffaloes at 9 p.m. CT.

Staff Predictions

Who will get the start at quarterback? Will the offensive line be better that last year? How will the defense be? The Horned Frogs enter the season with a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordinator, and many more changes. TCU currently sits at a 13.5 favorite in the game.
