Game topic: TCU Football vs. Houston Cougars

The TCU Horned Frogs (3-2; 1-1) continue Big 12 play as they host the Houston Cougars (1-4; 0-2) under the Friday Night Lights of Amon G. Carter Stadium.

Houston made a coaching change after its first season in the Big 12, relieving current TCU analyst Dana Holgorsen of his duties and bringing in former Tulane coach Willie Fritz to lead the Cougars. It was a rough start to Fritz’s tenure, including back-to-back shutout losses to open Big 12 play. Houston picked up a win against Rice to bring back the Bayou Bucket and gave Oklahoma a tough game in Norman. The UH defense has been stout and ranks among the top units nationally in yards allowed per game. Offensively, the Cougars have struggled mightily with turnovers, with QB Donovan Smith throwing five interceptions already this season, with just two touchdown passes.

TCU has also shown turnover issues with a pile-up of fumbles added to Josh Hoover’s four interceptions. Outside of those picks, Hoover has been phenomenal to start the season, currently ranking third nationally in total passing yards and adding 14 passing TDs. His top target Jack Bech was recently added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list as his 35 receptions for 647 yards and six touchdowns put him on pace for the best pass-catching season in TCU history. Surrounded by additional weapons Eric McAlister, JP Richardson and Savion Williams, the TCU passing game is one of the deadliest in the country.
