WHAT’S AT STAKE
The Horned Frogs are tied for the Big 12 lead and would be among the four teams in the College Football Playoff if the season ended this week. Unfortunately for TCU, that’s not the case. And with no marquee opponents in its final three games, it may take some lopsided victories to hold onto that spot. Meanwhile, Kansas will be trying to build on a victory over Iowa State, its first under interim coach Clint Bowen.

KEY MATCHUP
TCU dual-threat QB Trevone Boykin against the Kansas defense. Boykin shredded one of the best defenses in the Big 12 in Kansas State a week ago. Now, he’ll try to do the same against a Jayhawks defense that gave up 60 points to Baylor a couple of weeks ago.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
TCU: RB Aaron Green filled in admirably last week for B.J. Catalon, the Horned Frogs’ injured leading rusher. Green ran for 171 yards and a touchdown against the Wildcats.
Kansas: QB Michael Cummings threw for 278 yards and a touchdown without an interception against the Cyclones. He’s been getting steadily better after taking over for Montell Cozart.
