The national spotlight returns to Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday. TCU -- ranked No. 5 in the country -- hosts West Virginia to kickoff Week 9 of the college football season.
Odds-On Favorites For The Heisman Trophy
The Horned Frogs have the added benefit of being the only relevant game in town. Of the six other scheduled games, only one features another ranked team (No. 23 Pittsburgh). Poll voters, members of the College Football Playoff committee and Heisman Trophy voters will be fixated on TCU.
The last such occurrence only mustered a 23-17 victory over Minnesota in Week 1. More than that will be needed tonight.

1) #WVU held Trevone Boykin* to a 22.1 QBR last season, by far the lowest since his switch to QB full time.

Trevone Boykin has thrown for 300 yards & run for 40 yards in each of his last five games...Longest such streak FBS in last 20 years
