TCU will head into Thursday night’s battle with West Virginia looking to remain undefeated, while the 3-3 Mountaineers will be attempting to avoid falling under .500 and losing their fourth game in a row. The Horned Frogs can’t afford to have any losses if Gary Patterson‘s team expects to make the College Football Playoff in 2015. Read further to find out my five bold predictions for this Big 12 matchup.

Iowa State bottled Green up to the tune of 12 carries for seven yards during the Horned Frogs' last game on Oct. 17. It was a surprising clunker for TCU's top running back. Although the Mountaineers bottled up Shock Linwood in their last game, Green is a bit of a different animal with his sprinter's speed.
4. Jovon Durante Will Have 100 Yards and Two Touchdowns

Durante exploded onto the scene during the Mountaineers' season opener against Georgia Southern. In his first collegiate game, the true freshman recorded three catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. Since that game, Durante has only recorded 15 catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns in five games. He's due for another breakout game.
3. Josh Doctson Will Have 200 Receiving Yards and Three Touchdowns

Aside from Baylor's Corey Coleman, Doctson is the best receiver in the Big 12. He's actually a better pro prospect than Coleman because of his 6-foot-3 frame. The 5-foot-11 Coleman finished with 10 catches for 199 yards and three touchdowns against the Mountaineers. Doctson should at least match those numbers.
2. Skyler Howard Will Have 3 or More Turnovers

While Howard's stats don't look all that bad, they're inflated from the first three games of the season against Georgia Southern, Liberty and Maryland. In three Big 12 conference games, Howard has turned the ball over nine times. Expect that to continue against the Horned Frogs on Thursday.
1. Trevone Boykin Will Throw for 400 Yards, Rush for 100 Yards and Score 5 Touchdowns

The Mountaineers are fresh off allowing Seth Russell to throw for 380 yards, rush for 160 and score six touchdowns, and Boykin is a better player than Russell. These predictions might be too low as the Horned Frogs will massacre the Mountaineers.
