TCU is hoping to pull off a dramatic comeback against top-10 Texas and while the Longhorns could have a backup quarterback, the rest of the roster is loaded.
This year’s matchup does as well, but it’s the Horned Frogs who will try to play spoiler. TCU comes into the marquee in-state battle limping with a 4-5 record and a two-game losing skid at the hands of Kansas State and Texas Tech.
However he’s also inexperienced and has shown that in his two starts. Murphy has a low quarterback rating of 45.6 and has accounted four four turnovers in two games. He was terrific in the first half against Kansas State, but was also the big reason the Wildcats were able to get back in the game. Brooks has already gone over the 1,000 yard mark with 1,035 while averaging more than six yards per carry. Brooks has scored eight touchdowns and is also a factor in the passing game with at least four receptions in three of the last four games. When Brooks isn’t on the field, Texas turns to five-star freshman C.J. Baxter.
Georgia transfer Adonai Mitchell was one of the few transfers to earn a five-star grade and showed why with a breakout season. Mitchell leads the receivers with eight touchdowns and also has 576 yards. He’s a big, strong receiver that can also take the top of the defense. Then let’s not forget about the best tight end in the Big 12, Ja’Tavion Sanders.
