[CTcard]

... instead of an away game against a decent but not marquee (i.e., not Texas or Oklahoma) Big12 opponent, we wind up with a neutral site game and more TV exposure.

Our next opponent had quite an up and down season just now.

4-6 overall.
Good Side - beat Oklahoma 38-35, lost to Ok State by only 2 (18-20), won on the road at TCU (21-14)
Bad Side - lost to Arkansas State (31-35), wiped out by WVU (10-37) Iowa State (0-45), and Texas (31-69)
Their best RB was a frosh, Deuce Vaughn with 64 yds/gm at 5.2 per carry. They like him a lot. 
They lost their senior starting QB early in game #3. Says he's coming back but will have to beat out the true frosh who took over this past year.
They were 8/10 in the Big 12 in both total offense and total defense by the traditional yds/gm.
Their newish head coach (Bill Snyder retired after 2018) Chris Klieman came from FCS powerhouse North Dakota State. He's gone 8-5, 4-6 in two years.
