Utah vs. TCU Balls & Strikes ? Utah is 1-6 all-time against TCU. The two schools met in 1998 and '99 when both were members of the Western Athletic Conference. The Horned Frogs swept four games from the Utes in 1998 (5-3, 8-0, 11-8, 5-3). TCU won two of three in 1999, taking a 10-6 win and a 17-1 victory. Utah won the last meeting in 1999 by a 7-6 count.
? TCU is a member of Conference USA. The Horned Frogs are joining the Mountain West Conference next year.
? This weekend's trip to Texas will be the furthest east that the Utes have been since last February when they traveled to New Orleans to face Tulane.
? Since the 2000 season, the Tulane series marks the only other time Utah has faced a Conference USA team. The Green Wave swept Utah last season.
Scouting TCU TCU is opening the season with its three-game series against Utah. The Horned Frogs play at Lupton Stadium, which opened in 2003. TCU was 20-9 on its home field last season and is 41-18 in two seasons at the facility.
The Horned Frogs were 39-26 overall last season and finished fourth in Conference USA with a 19-11 mark. TCU advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season, falling in the regional round in Austin, Texas.
Sophomore outfielder Chad Huffman is TCU's top returning player and was C-USA's Freshman of the Year last season. Huffman batted .389 last season and hit nine home runs with 44 RBIs.
Infielder Shelby Ford batted .301 last season and led the team with 16 home runs. He was second on the squad with 56 RBIs.
Chase Perry and Chad Underwood are the Horned Frogs' top returners on the mound. Perry was 0-1 with a 3.72 ERA in a relief role, while Underwood was 7-3 with a 4.24 ERA. Highly-touted pitcher Lance Broadway is TCU's top newcomer.
Utah Rewind Utah opened the season last week at Santa Clara University. The Broncos swept all three games from the Utes, winning 5-4, 5-3 and 6-3.
Utah was ahead in both of the first two games and had chances late in both contests. In game three, Santa Clara jumped on top 6-0, before Utah could light the scoreboard.
Utah had two on and two out in the top of the ninth in game one of the series. The Utes had the bases loaded in game two. In game three, Utah scored two runs in the ninth, but it wasn't enough.
Mozeleski's Momentum Junior outfielder Joe Mozeleski had an outstanding start to his Utah career. The transfer from Golden West Community College was 6-for-12 at the plate in his first three games in a Ute uniform.
In addition to his six hits, Mozeleski delivered one RBI, batting primarily in the cleanup spot. He batted sixth in game one and moved to the four-hole in games two and three last week.
His .500 batting average, .500 slugging percentage and .538 on-base percentage are all tops on the team. Mozeleski was also errorless in five chances in the field.
Brossman's Back Again Sophomore third baseman Jay Brossman was Utah's only All-Mountain West Conference selection last season. He earned that honor primarily due to his .369 batting average in 2003.
The Pullman, Wash. native is picking up right where he left off. Batting in the three-hole, he was 5-for-12 (.417) against Santa Clara last weekend.
Brossman had one of Utah's four extra base hits, a double. He also scored two runs over the weekend.
