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 53 touchdown passes in 23 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.
- 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 12 career interceptions are one shy of cracking the program's top-10 record book (t-8th - Sam Carter, 2012-14; Darrell Lester, 1933-35).
NOTING THE GAME
- TCU hosts Colorado for their Big 12 conference home opener this week after falling on the road at now-ranked Arizona State. The Horned Frogs entered last week's game ranked No. 24 and are still receiving votes in both polls.
- The game has been designated TCU's annual Black Out game and Las Ranas game where TCU honors Hispanic Heritage Month.
- Colorado head coach Deion Sanders began his tenure at CU with a road game in Fort Worth in 2023 when the Buffs upset No. 17 TCU in the season opener.
- TCU is aiming to avoid their first 0-2 start in Big 12 play since 2013. Similarly, CU (0-2) is looking for their first conference victory and to avoid an 0-3 start in conference play for the first time since 2017.
- Texas has been a popular recruiting territory for the Buffs as their roster features 20 players from the state.
