Redshirt freshman Josh Hoover threw for 439 yards and four touchdowns in his first start for TCU as the Horned Frogs beat Big 12 newcomer BYU 44-11.
FORT WORTH, TX - OCTOBER 14: TCU Horned Frogs wide receiver Jaylon Robinson runs a jet sweep during a game between the Brigham Young Cougars and the TCU Horned Frogs on October 14, 2023, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, TX. 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.
Coming off its open date, BYU had a season-low 243 total yards. Kedon Slovis was 15-of-34 passing for 152 yards with that interception and a lost fumble. His 75.8 quarterback rating was a career-low in 44 games that included previous stops at Pittsburgh and Southern Cal. Morris is expected to miss at least a month after suffering the same injury he did when starting the 2022 season opener. By 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.
"We threw 60 balls and I had no pressure," Hoover said. "That’s unheard of. So our offensive line played their butt off."TCU led 24-0 on tight end Jared Wiley's 7-yard TD midway through the second quarter, when he caught the pass just short of the goal line, bounced off one defender and then another before plunging into the end zone.
