This is a good spot at which to take Oklahoma coming off a loss to a Kansas State team that, simply, just has its number. Meanwhile, TCU is sitting at 3-0 with its lone notable victory 42-34 over SMU despite it nearly blowing a 28-7 lead by allowing 28 points over the final 17 minutes. The number has come down far below a touchdown, creating value that did not exist earlier in the week. OU has won eight straight and 11 of the last 12 meetings against TCU since 2008. Six of its last seven wins have been by a touchdown or more, including 52-31 last year and 33-14 the last time these programs met in Fort Worth, Texas. If there's anyone in college football who can fix a one-week defensive lapse, it's Brent Venables. Look for Dillon Gabriel to manage another thorough offensive effort.

Jumping up from AAC to the Big 12 was a huge leap for Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Thus far, the pace and high level athletes has not deterred Gabriel as he has 11 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. That production will be needed on the road against a TCU team that led from start to finish in last week’s victory over SMU. Expect a lot of points but for the Sooners to have the answers in a hostile road environment. Take Oklahoma.
