Frogs face challenge in Utah

The Frogs need to put the BYU game behind them to avoid being beaten by Utah in Salt Lake City on Thursday. TCU lost 31-17 last Thursday, ending the nation's longest winning streak at 13. It's tough to know exactly what to expect from Utah after Boise State easily handled the Utes, 36-3 Saturday.

Unfortunately for the Frogs, they will likely lose out on a conference title if they don't bounce back from last week's disappointment. They need to forget about falling out of the top 25, concentrating on executing when they reach the red zone. The advantage they enjoy is tailback Lonta Hobbs, out for nearly a year and a half with various injuries, will be even more prepared to play than last week, when the senior delivered in key situations. Hobbs gave the Frogs the spark they needed, but mistakes in other areas cost them the chance to remain unbeaten.
