Grambling State vs TCU Prediction
TCU has had an extra week to stew over a disappointing showing against North Carolina, and that’s probably bad news for Grambling State. TCU is far and away a better team than it showed in its season opener. Grambling State is an extremely young team that includes 46 freshmen. Thick number, but Grambling just isn’t an FCS program capable of hanging with some of the big boys in the FBS. This is sure to get ugly. I’ll lay the points.
