It was an Arizona Christmas for TCU, as the Horned Frogs arrived Monday in Phoenix to prepare for Saturday's matchup against Michigan State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.

Earlier in the week, I went over some basic things the TCU offense could do to have success against the Spartans' defense. Today, we go a little more in-depth, taking a look at some specific matchups the Frogs will face.

But instead of giving a clear-cut edge to either side, I decided to give a relative grade on a scale of 0-100, with 50 being dead even. For example, as you'll see below, I felt the TCU receivers have an advantage over the MSU secondary. Thus, I gave them a relative grade of 59, which, when two teams are so closely matched, is a pretty decent margin.

Anyways, the matchups are below -- feel free to provide feedback on the board. Most of it's arbitrary, really. We'll have similar content later in the week for the defense.
