Stay connected for news and updates

The big Fiesta Bowl is less then a week away, so now is a good time to compare how the two teams stack up regarding the most important statistics in the game.

Both teams are strong in both offense and defense with a slight edge to TCU in the defense prowess. That TCU defense is the reason they won last year when these teams played in the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl.

Do not be fooled by the overall lead TCU has some of the margins are very thin and these two teams are very equal.
