NOTING THE GAME
- TCU heads to Provo on Saturday where they will take on No. 12 BYU, their first matchup against a ranked team since closing out the 2023 season at No. 13 Oklahoma. The Frogs are on a three-game winless stretch against ranked opponents dating back to the meeting with No. 1 Georgia in the CFP National Championship game at the end of the 2022 season.
- TCU's last win over a ranked opponent in a true road game was also in that 2022 season when they went to Austin and beat No. 18 Texas, 17-10.
- It will be TCU's first trip to LaVell Edwards Stadium since 2009 when both squads were members of the Mountain West Conference. TCU has won the last five meetings, but prior to a 2023 match up, those previous four games came between 2008-11
- TCU will wear black helmets, white jerseys, and black pants with purple accents.
- LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr has tallied double-digit tackles in each of the past three games, and his 44 tackles over that span are the second-most by a TCU defender since 2005.
- DB Bud Clark jumped to fourth all-time in career inteceptions with two last week against Iowa State. With another, he will move into a tie for second with 16 career picks.
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 65 touchdown passes in 28 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 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 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.
