ABOUT THE GAME
• TCU returns home Saturday to host No. 14 Baylor in a 2:30 p.m. game on FOX.
• The Horned Frogs have won five of the last six meetings with the Bears with the lone loss in that stretch coming in triple overtime in 2019.
MEET JERRY KILL
• Jerry Kill is TCU's interim head coach. He joined the Horned Frogs in February 2020 as special assistant to the head coach in charge of offense.
• Before arriving at TCU, Kill served as special assistant to the head coach at Virginia Tech in 2019. • Among his many coaching accolades, Kill was the consensus 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Minnesota to the Citrus Bowl for its first New Year's Day game since 1962. He was head coach of the Golden Gophers from 2011-15.
• While at Southern Illinois (2001-07), he was the FCS Eddie Robison National Coach of the Year in 2004 as well as the 2007 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. He led the Salukis to five straight NCAA playoff appearances. He then served as head coach at Northern Illinois from 2008-10, earning the Grant Teaff FCA Coach of the Year Award in 2010 when he guided the Huskies to a 10-3 record and berth in the Mid-American Conference Championship Game.
SERIES HISTORY
• TCU has a 56-53-7 series lead over Baylor.
• With 116 games played, TCU has faced Baylor more than any opponent in its history.
• The Horned Frogs are 27-29-4 at home against the Bears and 29-24-1 on the road. Both neutral-site meetings saw TCU and Baylor play to a tie.
• The first game between TCU and Baylor was a scoreless tie in 1899.
• TCU is 9-4 against Baylor since the Southwest Conference dissolved after the 1995 season.
FORMER CROSSTOWN RIVALS
• After being founded in 1873 in Thorp Spring, Texas, as AddRan Male and Female College, TCU's campus moved to Waco in 1895.
• The name was changed to AddRan Christian University in 1889 and Texas Christian University in 1902.
• TCU relocated to downtown Fort Worth in 1910 when the Waco facility burned down. The University then opened three new buildings on its present campus in 1911.
TCU NOTABLES
• Over the last seven seasons, TCU has the Big 12's third-best conference record (39-29) and overall mark (61-35).
• TCU is one of just seven programs nationally to finish with an Associated Press Top-10 final ranking in at least three of the last seven seasons (2014, 2015, 2017). The others are Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Penn State.
HORNED FROGS TO WATCH
• Zach Evans became the first Horned Frog since 2002 with four consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
• With his team-best 648 yards rushing, Evans is 352 shy of becoming TCU's first 1,000-yard rusher since Kyle Hicks ran for 1,042 in 2016.
• Kendre Miller (7.33) and Evans (7.28) rank second and third nationally in career yards per carry among active players.
• Miller had his second 100-yard game in the last four contests with 102 yards at Kansas State. With his scoring runs of 33, 75 and 45 yards at Texas Tech, as part of 185 yards in the game, he is the only player nationally this season with three touchdown carries of at least 33 yards in the same game.
NFL HOUSE GUESTS
• TCU was the practice site for three weeks last month for the New Orleans Saints, who were displaced due to Hurricane Ida.
• The Saints were the third NFL team in the last 11 years to practice at TCU. The Dallas Cowboys have utilized the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility, while TCU was the host practice site for the Pittsburgh Steelers during Super Bowl XLV in Arlington.
TCU SUPPORT
• Since it began Big 12 play in 2012, TCU has had over $400 million in donor-funded athletics facilities upgrades. The most recent project was the $113 million Legends Club & Suites which opened in Fall 2020 on the east side of Amon G. Carter Stadium.
