FORT WORTH -- Three 11-win seasons the past four years. A five-game winning streak against the Big 12. A perennial Top 25 team.

After all that, TCU finally has a chance to make everybody else
take notice - and prove the Horned Frogs are legitimate Bowl
Championship Series contenders.

For all the measuring-stick games the 19th-ranked Frogs talk
about, none has matched the magnitude of going to Number 7 Texas
Saturday night.

Win or lose in Austin, coach Gary Patterson will turn his
attention to the M-W-C opener only five nights later at Air Force.
