TCU QB passes for 439 yards and 4 TDs
The Horned Frogs played their most complete game of the season in totaling 584 yards of offense while holding the Cougars to one touchdown and 243 yards.
Hoover's 439 yards passing, completing 37-of-58 attempts, were the most by a TCU quarterback in his first career start since Chandler Morris threw for 461 in a 30-28 win over Baylor in 2021. The four touchdown passes were the most by a Horned Frog in his first start since Casey Pachall's four at Baylor in 2011.
TCU opened fast as senior safety Millard Bradford, making his first start of the season, returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown on the third snap of the game's opening series.
The Horned Frogs' lead grew to 14-0 on their first offensive possession as Hoover connected with JP Richardson on a 42-yard strike. Richardson bounced off two BYU defenders then sprinted the final 20 yards into the end zone.
Richardson posted his first career 100-yard day with six catches for 104 yards. Thirteen Horned Frogs had a reception.
TCU rolled to a 31-8 lead at the half and then extended the margin on the first series of the third quarter by driving 82 yards in just eight plays, making it a 38-8 game on a 14-yard scoring toss from Hoover to Warren Thompson.
