The Pokes beat up on another weak non-conference opponent. Their next game is at Pitt, where they will be favored. Still, it’s quite the road trip and another big win would be impressive heading into conference play.

In a game that was sloppy from start to finish, the Horned Frogs came away with a relatively impressive 28-7 win over Arkansas on the road. The TCU offense looked mediocre, but their defense was suffocating for the second straight week.

Baylor gave Liberty its first win over a Power 5 conference school last week, and this week UTSA accomplished the same feat against the Bears. With a road trip to Duke coming up, Baylor will likely enter Big 12 play seeking its first win.
