At 3-3 on the season, the TCU Horned Frogs have to make the most of the first rest week to push back into the Big 12 conversation.
The TCU Horned Frogs have a problem. After six games, they're 3-3 with three inexcusable losses. The first came after a blown 31-13 lead and a 99.3% win expectancy, per ESPN. The second featured a struggling rival offense hanging 66 on them. And the third–the worst of all–came to a lifeless Houston that had yet to score a single point on a Big 12 foe.3-3 is far more frustrating than if TCU fell in competitive fashion to UCF, SMU, and, say, in a shootout to either Kansas or Stanford.
Since losing to Kansas State in the 2022 Big 12 Championship Game, TCU hasn't beaten a Power Conference team with a winning record.October 5, 2024 TCU ranks in the bottom fifth of the nation in non-explosive play defense; in other words, how much production comes from chunk yards versus on a down-to-down basis? TCU just hasn't been able to stop teams from getting 5, 6, or 7 yards at a time.The defense has to figure out how to get more stops on third down.
Josh Hoover has emerged into a great stat-compiler at quarterback, far from a slight at the sophomore. His 239 attempts is the second-most and 16 touchdowns, third., per Pro Football Focus' grades, a valuable asset not found in most QBs. Cam Cook has emerged as the featured back to mixed results. 3.9 yards per attempt is discouraging, leading to TCU's high pass rate this year. Unfortunately, he's no Emani Bailey or Kendre Miller.
