Dykes can flip a narrative that has chased him for years, &#8220;The Sonny Swoon&#8221;, and push all-in Doyle Brunson-style with a victory over the Texas Longhorns as a touchdown underdog.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly is the Sonny Swoon? In 2014 at Cal, Dykes started 4-1 and lost six of his last seven games and didn&#8217;t make a bowl game. In 2015, Cal started 5-0 with wins over Texas and Washington, then lost five of its next six games. Similar peaks and valleys were seen during his four seasons at SMU.<\/p>\n<p>The carpet has not been pulled out from under the Horned Frogs yet this season, thanks in large part to field general Max Duggan, who has thrown for 24 touchdown passes with just two interceptions.<\/p>\n<h3>Tale of Two Halves<\/h3>\n<p>TCU has been closing the door on opponents in the second half, while Texas has flirted with blowing some big leads. In TCU&#8217;s last four games, the Horned Frogs have out-scored their opponents 55-14 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Texas has been out-scored 38-6 in the second half of its last two games while losing at Oklahoma State and nearly blowing a three-touchdown lead against Kansas State. Perhaps Steve Sarkisian has become a bit too reliant upon Bijan Robinson and the running game? The Longhorns have scored a total of one touchdown after halftime in their last three games.<\/p>\n<h3>Texas vs TCU Betting Notes<\/h3>\n<p>TCU has covered the spread in six of its last eight meetings with Texas. The Horned Frogs are 8-1 against the spread this season, and have covered the spread in all four of their road games.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes border-style-solid padding: 6px;\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#ffa04b;color:#2e3192\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Sportsbook<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Welcome Bonus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>States Available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Get Your Bonus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.

The weather played a huge factor in that game as they try and rebound with another tough road matchup at Happy Valley. As far as total yards and passing yards per game the Nittany Lions and Terrapins rank 3rd and 4th respectfully in the conference. In the Big 12 we have a Texas sized clash as the Longhorns host the Horned Frogs as TCU pushes even further to establish themselves in the College Football Playoff. TCU is 4th nationally in total yards per game at 508 but the Longhorns have been solid on defense allowing 21 points per game and 381 total yards per game. Texas will have to step up somewhat on defense if they hope to contain TCU&#039;s run and gun offensive approach. Join Drew Martin, Tony Mejia and Tony Finn as they preview a pair of conference battles in Penn State vs Maryland and Texas vs TCU giving their betting analysis before kickoff this Saturday.
