TCU redshirt freshman quarterback Josh Hoover was certainly ready for his first career start, and that was no surprise to his teammates or coach Sonny Dykes.
“Even when he was a backup, he prepared like he was the starter. ... I’m not sure you come around kids of his character and his ability too often,” Horned Frogs receiver JP Richardson said. “He showed a lot of people what he’s capable of today, and I think he might even showed himself a little bit what he can do.”
Millard Bradford, a senior defensive back in his first start this season, had a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown that put the Frogs ahead before Hoover had taken his first snap. Their first offensive drive ended on a 42-yard TD pass to Richardson, who ricocheted off a defender at the 20 and scored for a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
Morris is expected to miss at least a month after suffering the same injury he did when starting the 2022 season opener. By the time he was healthy enough to play again last year, Max Duggan had re-established himself as TCU’s starter and went on to become the Heisman Trophy runner-up after an undefeated regular season before the Frogs made it to the national championship game.
