TCU vs. Louisiana: Prediction
It was expected that Louisiana would to be down its starting quarterback, Ben Woolridge, due to injury, and freshman Daniel Beale would likely draw the start, which is why the line swelled by three points. But then it began to be circulated that Woolridge was going to play vs. TCU, which swung the line back down a couple of points on Friday into Saturday morning.
However, no matter what happens for ULL at quarterback, the talent gap that was already pretty wide, which gives me all kinds of confidence that TCU can pick up the win here. With that being said, I do think ULL will be able to put up points, no matter who is at QB, as the Cajuns’ offense has been built around a strong rushing attack all season — something the Horned Frogs have struggled with. Give me TCU to win and cover, but it’s time to hammer the over here.
