I'm not going to say that Tech will blow out TCU, but to discount Tech based upon the WAC over MWC is not accurate. Look at TCU's schedule and who they played based upon ranking..
No offense, but have you looked at the LA Tech schedule lately? They really played an overrated Houston team and Miss. State. Nobody else they played was worth hardly anything. While it would be nice to see Tech play well for some of their alumni I know, it's hard to envision them winning this game.

That was the point I was making about TCU's schedule this year. Most of their opposition was ranked below Tech. If TCU wins tonight it will be the second highest ranked team they won against this year.

I'm not dismissing Tech based on conference. For that matter I am not dismissing Tech at all. My post that you quoted had nothing to do with dismissing Tech.
That being said you only beat 3 teams with a winning record this season. And you only did so by a combined 17 points over those three games.

Is there any reason to think La Tech can keep this game within 10 points?

TCU's defense has been giving up a few rushing yards of late (100+ in each of the last 5 games) and Tech can run the ball pretty well, even without Creer.
Tech's starting QB is from from Newberry Park, CA which is about a 3 hour drive to San Diego.
That's about all I got.

If they have tall receivers that can pressure the flats against our less than great corners and open up some big passing plays early on, it will force the D to back off of the line and open an interior running game.
TCU is one of the worst teams in the nation as far as giving up big plays. For the most part though, offenses, even high powered ones like Bosise, have difficutly consistently moving the ball on the frogs. Third down conversions will be key.
As far as Tech keeping the Frogs out of the endzone they will need to be able to defend laterally with speed and maintain deep coverage as Pachall is ceratinly better than average at ball placement. The fact that both he and the second string QB are a threat to run the ball is an added dimension that many teams have struggeld with.

Yes.
The Vegas line is around 10 pts.
Sagarin Predicter is 10 pts.
BYU is ranked #43 by Sagarin
Tech is ranked #42 by Sagarin
TCU beat BYU 38-28 at home (Cowboys Stadium).
10 points sounds about right if they both bring their "A game."

Looks like a no-bet for me then 
Posted on 12/21/11 at 11:49 am to TigerTatorTots
I took TCU on ML with CBB game. If it goes to +10 or 11 I'll throw La Tech

I think that's wise. Tech is 10-1 vs the Sagarin Predictor this year. If TCU is uninspired, I think Tech wins this one outright.

I know you are only an 18 yr old kid but, weren't you one of the guys that was so certain TCU would get killed by Wisky and then again Boise this season?
Posted on 12/21/11 at 12:21 pm to Bleeding purple
Even though our D has 20+ takeaways on the year, we're still ranked in the bottom third in pass defense. If our DLine can't get to Pachall we will get beat deep as well.

We play mostly Cover 2 right? I am more concerned with the crossing patterns over the middle. I've seen TCU throw a lot of those!

Uhh no

k, my mistake. I wasnt going to go searching the history
Posted on 12/21/11 at 12:39 pm to Bleeding purple
Now that you've told us about the secondary issues I'm excited to see what Patton is gonna do. Hopefully Lee will be able to provide a balanced attack with a solid run game.
Posted on 12/21/11 at 12:52 pm to msutiger
Don't get too excited. The Heisman trophy winning QB was only able to win by 2 points in OT at their house.
Posted on 12/21/11 at 12:53 pm to Bleeding purple
Gonna be a close game no doubt. I just love being a homer in case you havent noticed.
