Siale Esera to face TCU as a much different player

The last time BYU faced TCU, Siale Esera was just a boy playing in his first collegiate game. On Saturday, when the two teams reunite at LaVell Edwards Stadium (8:15 p.m. MST, ESPN), the Horned Frogs will face Siale Esera the man.

“I feel like I have matured more as a football player and as a person as well,” Esera told the BYUtv “Sports Nation GameDay” pregame show. “I feel like it’s a whole different ballgame now. The knowledge that I have is nothing to compared to what I had back then.”

Back then, on Oct. 14, 2023, Esera entered the game in the fourth quarter of a one-sided TCU beatdown in Fort Worth. The former Timpview High star, who grew up watching the Cougars, was now one of them.

College GameDay Crew Picks No. 12 BYU vs TCU

On Saturday morning, the College GameDay crew picked no. 12 BYU vs TCU. The Cougars, who maintain control over their own destiny, are looking for a bounce -back win over the TCU Horned Frogs. BYU is looking for its first win over TCU since 2007. All but one member of the crew likes BYU's chances to beat TCU.

"With the game being in Provo, it's going to be cold at night time. I think that benefits BYU. They will bounce back from that embarrassing performance [against Texas Tech], so going with the Cougars."

"I think BYU bounces back in this one. They learned from last year's, you know, falling apart at the end of the season and hopefully they bounce back and get back in the championship game."
