Top 10 storylines for Week 5 of the college football season

3. Can Texas possibly keep up with TCU?

Led by the dynamic duo of quarterback Trevone Boykin and wide receiver Josh Doctson — who caught an astounding 18 passes in last weekend’s epic shootout against Texas Tech — TCU (No. 4) hosts Texas in Week 5. If the Longhorns don’t score early and often, this one could get out of hand.

It’s not crazy to think Texas might actually be able to do it, however.

As we witnessed when TCU took on Texas Tech, the Horned Frogs don’t exactly feature a stellar defensive unit. This could be another game in which Longhorns quarterback Jerrod Heard has a field day, much like what we saw during the Cal game, when he threw for 364 yards and ran for 163.

Likely, TCU will romp at home, but there’s a chance — albeit a slight one — that Charlie Strong’s team might be able to avoid losing three in a row.

Fans can watch this game nationally on ABC starting at 12 p.m. ET.
