NOTING THE GAME
- TCU closes out the regular season at home on Saturday when they host Cincinnati. The Frogs are aiming for a five-win or better home record for the first time since 2022 and just the third since 2017. TCU is 18-6 at home under Sonny Dykes including an 11-2 mark in day games.
- The Frogs are looking to record consecutive 8-win seasons for the first time in a decade, those coming in 2014 (12 wins) and 2015 (11 wins).
- Like the Baylor game, the matchup looks to feature plenty of fireworks as quarterbacks Brendan Sorsby (8.3) and Josh Hoover (8.1) rank No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, in the Big 12 for passing yards per attempt.
- The Bearcats also lead the country quarterback protection, allowing just 0.36 sacks per game. TCU has not gotten to the quarterback the past two games.
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 four active head coaches to take four different schools to a bowl game. The others are Butch Jones, Lane Kiffin, and Rich Rodriguez. He is also one of six active head coaches to have appeared in the CFP National Championship game, joining Kirby Smart, Dabo Swinney, Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, and Kalen DeBoer.
- 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 67 touchdown passes in 30 career starts.
- Surrounding Hoover is 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.
- 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 15 career interceptions are tied for fourth-most in program history.
- The Horned Frogs are bowl eligible for the ninth time in 12 seasons as a Big 12 member.
