NOTING THE GAME

TCU travels to Manhattan, Kansas this week - a place the Frogs have not won since 2017. The game also serves as Kansas State's 2025 homecoming game.
Kansas State enters the matchup at 2-4 with all four losses coming by single digits and by a total of 13 points. Similarly, TCU's lone loss this season is a three-point loss on the road at Arizona State.
Roster Connection: TCU LB Namdi Obiazor is the older brother of Kansas State DL Chiddi Obiazor.
A win on Saturday would give TCU its fifth win in its first six games for the first time since 2022 (6-0). The Frogs also started 6-0 in 2017 and 2015.

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 57 touchdown passes in 24 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 13 career interceptions are tied for seventh in program history (Sam Carter, 2012-14; Darrell Lester, 1933-35).
