The game is at 7:30 p.m. which means a 9:30 p.m. start, body clock-wise for the Central time zone TCU players, given that they play in Fort Worth. I predict a second half meltdown.
Secondly, TCU does great at home, poorly on the road. They lost four of five on the road last year, beating only Houston.
I like our chances. If Stanford can stay within a TD during the first half, they'll win the second half. My guess is 31-30, Stanford.

P. S....when I entered Stanford 31, TCU 30, the board's software rated that "Red Hot Shame" Really?
TCU is coached by Sunny Yikes formal of Kal. He did not do too well against Stanford back then, hope the trend continues.
