The Over/Under is set at 62.<doc-sep>TCU didn’t have the juice to hold on and topple Ohio State in Week 3. Have the Horned Frogs recovered enough to handle Texas on the road? Gary Patterson’s team overcame early mistakes to take a 21-13 third quarter lead over OSU in one of the season’s most-anticipated games, then watched the fourth-ranked Buckeyes assert their will in the second half of a 40-28 loss. That put a chip on the Frogs’ shoulders — and likely put them one loss away from missing out on their shot at a College Football Playoff bid. The Longhorns would love to be the team to ruin that dream. Texas’ 2018 started much like its 2017 — with an upset loss to a not-very-good Maryland team. The two weeks since have featured back-to-back wins, including a Week 3 triumph over then-No. 23 USC in a rematch of the 2006 Rose Bowl. If they can roll that momentum into another big home win, it could be the key to regaining UT’s spot in the top 25.

TCU vs. Texas news: Robinson ’s performance in last week’s big showdown was enough to prove he’s TCU’s future. On the biggest stage, with the brightest lights, Robinson put forth the best effort of his fledgling career, matching the Buckeyes blow for blow and proving he can play at a high level. Though a trio of mistakes will be what many remember, it was his response to those moments that stood out to me, and to his coach. “Well, the best thing that I saw, sometimes young players, they get glazed over. When things bad happen to them, their eyes glaze over. That never happened to Shawn.” And it didn’t. What does Shawn Robinson have in store for Texas? TCU’s first-year quarterback had flashes of brilliance in last week’s loss to Ohio State, but underwhelmed in big moments against the best defense he’s seen as a starter. He finished the game with 308 passing yards, but also threw a pair of interceptions — including a backbreaking pick-six that gave the Buckeyes a lead they wouldn’t relinquish — and ran for only seven yards on eight carries. He’ll need to be better against a Texas team that kept USC passer JT Daniels out of the end zone last week. Daniels eventually got to 322 yards, but he needed 48 passes to get there. A similarly inefficient performance from Robinson could make it two straight losses for the Frogs. TCU vs. Texas prediction: This is a tight one, especially with Robinson’s performance remaining unpredictable. S&P+’s preseason pick tagged TCU for a 0.7 point loss. If a rebounding Longhorn team can perform up to expectations, TCU-Texas could be the best game of the entire Week 4 slate.<doc-sep>
Saturday marks a key meeting for the Big 12 as No. 17 TCU and Texas square off in Austin. The Horned Frogs have dominated this series over the past four years, and in doing so, they have unearthed an uncomfortable truth about the Longhorns. As the state's flagship institution, Texas has clearly fallen behind other rival programs and stayed behind for them some time now. Will Texas change that narrative on Saturday, or will the Horned Frogs take a step forward in getting back to the Big 12 Championship Game? Gary Patterson's team gave Ohio State a heck of a fight in Week 3, and even in a loss, proved they can at least hang with just about anybody in the country. This game has a lot of implications for the rest of the season, not only for the Big 12 but for Texas and coach Tom Herman in the short-term. Let's take a look at what's ahead. Viewing information Date: Saturday, Sept. 22 | Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Location: Royal Texas Memorial Stadium -- Austin, Texas TV: FOX | Live stream: fuboTV (Try for free) Storylines Texas: The Longhorns finally got their big name brand win against USC, but beating TCU would undoubtedly be the better sign that second-year coach Tom Herman has this thing actually moving in the right direction. The Horns have lost four straight to TCU by an average of 30 points. Thirty. A win would not only give more validation to Herman, it would get a huge burden off of his back. TCU: So the Horned Frogs gave Ohio State everything it could handle. Moral victories aren't a thing, but there's no real shame in coming up short against a team that could win the national championship. Another Big 12 Championship Game appearance is still very much a possibility. In fact, you could argue that following the Ohio State game, TCU looks like one of the strongest contenders to Oklahoma in the conference title race. Handling Texas would keep up those appearances. Game prediction, picks It makes sense why the spread is what it is. TCU lost by 12 points to Ohio State and Texas pummeled the Trojans by 23. But those scores can misrepresent which team actually looked more impressive. Yes, Texas doling out the harshness in the second half of its game was a positive step. However, the Trojans had a pitiful -5 yards rushing when the Horns have allowed Maryland and Tulsa to run on them. And Texas is still a feast-or-famine offense. TCU's well-coached defense comes up big here.
