The Lamar Cardinals needed all 40 minutes to beat a non division I school in their season opener, and that’s not all that encouraging heading into this matchup. The TCU Horned Frogs had their issues against APB, but they’re going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re still a top-15 team in the country. The talent gap between these clubs is quite large. I’ll lay the number with TCU when it comes out.
