Kansas vs. TCU 2017 live stream: How to watch online

The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (6-0) more or less control their own destiny in the Big 12 race right now. They put their unbeaten record on the line in a home game with the Kansas Jayhawks (1-5) at 8 p.m. ET on FOX (live stream via Fox Sports Go).

The Horned Frogs endured a 26-6 win over the Kansas State Wildcats last week, with multiple weather delays stretching their game out into a marathon. The game was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time, but thanks to a massive storm hitting the region, it didn’t finish until the early evening. Nevertheless, TCU took care of business, with Sewo Olonilua scoring two touchdowns and the defense holding K-State to just 216 total yards.

With multiple top-10 losses last week, TCU moved to No. 4 in the AP Poll and is knocking on the door of a potential College Football Playoff spot. All eyes are now on the upcoming showdown with the Oklahoma Sooners on Nov. 11, which could also be a rematch in the Big 12 Championship. But Gary Patterson’s team will cross that bridge when it gets there — right now, the focus is on avoiding any slip-ups.

Things are far less rosy in Lawrence, where the Jayhawks are scuffling through yet another lost season. They have yet to win a game in conference play and are only two losses away from missing bowl eligibility. Last week’s 45-0 loss to Iowa State was just more of the same for a team that hasn’t played in a bowl game since 2009. It doesn’t look like that drought will be ending any time soon.

And maybe I’m old fashioned, maybe I’m old school. But if your team LOSES you shouldn’t be ranked ahead of quality (key word here) undefeated teams (especially if the team you lost to then lost to Iowa State- no offense Cyclones). So WHY IN THE WORLD IS OHIO STATE RANKED AHEAD OF US, KLATT?

It’s a yearly occurrence now. October has come, college football dreams have been crushed, and disgruntled fans start doing a little internet shopping for a new head football coach.

This year, it’s Tennessee. Volunteer fans are mad online at Butch Jones, and they’re in the market for a new head man. It seems like a few have their eyes on TCU’s visored genius.

Back in 2014 I wrote an article about how Gary Patterson isn’t going anywhere. It’s still true.

KU didn’t cross its own 35-yard line until the fourth quarter.

THINK ABOUT THAT LAST SENTENCE.

Although I’m not even really sure that counts because KU didn’t “cross” the 35-yard line there, they received a punt on their own 39 and gained 8 yards on the return to start on their own 47. So yeah.

Will Kansas be looking for another head coach soon?

David Beaty was hired to replace Charlie Weis in 2015, but the results haven’t been much better. The Jayhawks are 3-27 under his watch and showing little-to-no signs of progress (last year’s stunning win over Texas notwithstanding).

Kansas football has always been kind of an afterthought at a basketball-first school, but the constant humiliating losses have to be wearing thin on the fan base. If Beaty finishes 2-10 or worse for the third straight year, it would not be surprising if he gets shown the door.

On paper, this is a mismatch in every way, and there’s little reason to expect a letdown from Patterson’s squad. Look for the Horned Frogs to put this away early and give their backups some reps in the second half.
