NOTING THE GAME

TCU takes its longest road trip of the season on Saturday when they head to Morgantown to take on West Virginia, the first trip to WVU since 2022. In each of the last three meetings, the visiting school has won the game.
The Horned Frogs enter Saturday's game one win shy of bowl eligibility for the ninth time in 12 seasons as a Big 12 member.
It will be the 13th time in program history TCU has played on October 25, posting a 5-7 overall record (Last: Oct. 25, 2014 vs. Texas Tech - W, 82-47). TCU has won three consecutive games played on the date.
The Frogs enter the game with the league's top interception mark (nine) as well as the No. 7 ranked passing offense nationally. The Frogs lead the league in turnovers gained (14) and rank No. 8 nationally in that category.
Quarterback Josh Hoover leads the nation in points responsible for (138), tying with two other Big 12 quarterbacks (Robertson, Baylor; Sorsby, Cincy).

NOTING THE HORNED FROGS

TCU is in its fourth season under the direction of head coach Sonny Dykes in 2025. The 2022 National Coach of the Year led TCU to more wins in his first three seasons (27) than all but one head coach in program history (Dutch Meyer, 29, 1934-36).
Dykes has also led programs at SMU (2018-21), Cal (2013-16), and Louisiana Tech (2010-12). In all four stops, Dykes has led the program to the postseason, making him one of just six active head coaches to take four different schools to a bowl game. The others are Hugh Freeze, Butch Jones, Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin, and Rich Rodriguez.
Directing the TCU offense for his third season as the starting quarterback is redshirt junior Josh Hoover. In his redshirt sophomore campaign, Hoover set TCU's single-season passing record with 3,949 yards on 313-of-471 passing with 27 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. He has thrown 63 touchdown passes in 26 career starts.
Surrounding Hoover is be a new cast of wide receivers as 76 combined starts and 5,464 career receiving yards across their college careers left with the departures of Jack Bech, Savion Williams, and JP Richardson to the NFL.
Speaking of receivers, Eric McAlister was just the third FBS player in the last 30 years to have at least 500 receiving yards, seven touchdown catches and 25.0 yards per reception through the first six games of a season. The others were Washington State's Jason Hill (2004) and Georgia Tech's Dez White (1998).
TCU's rushing attack was an offseason focus as the Horned Frogs rushed for just 113.9 yards per game last season, their lowest per game average since 1997 (110.2) and by far the lowest for a Dykes-coached team. Over his tenure as a head coach, Dykes' teams have averaged 158.5 yards per game on the ground with his 2012 Louisiana Tech team posting 227.2 yards per game.
Defensively, the Horned Frogs are led by Bud Clark, who led all safeties in college football last season with a 90.1 coverage grade. After logging a career-high 68 tackles last season, Clark opted to return to TCU rather than head to the NFL, and his 13 career interceptions are tied for seventh in program history (Sam Carter, 2012-14; Darrell Lester, 1933-35).
