Josh Hoover focusing on bringing TCU back among Big 12’s elite​

Lynn Harrington

LAS VEGAS — The quarterback was a true freshman on the sidelines in 2022, when Max Duggan led the Horned Frogs all the way to the National Championship Game.

Josh Hoover shadowed Duggan, and learned how the Big 12 operated, in terms of speed and physicality. Coach Sonny Dykes played musical chairs with Hoover and Chandler Morris last season, and it resulted in a 5-7 campaign. However, Hoover was able to start the final six games, and had some memorable moments with his arm.

Although he finished 2-4 as TCU’s starter, Hoover threw for 439 yards against BYU, 412 against Baylor, 344 against Oklahoma and 302 against Texas. Having that valuable experience is what gives him confidence approaching the upcoming season, and Hoover is proud of his growth with the offense.

Nice article. Just hope Josh’s back has completely healed from surgery.
If we were back in the old B12 and had to play big games against UT, OU, KSt., Kansas, & OSU, I’d say 7 wins might be the ceiling.
But we now have Utah, Kansas, & OSU, and may have an 8 or 9 win ceiling.
Cant wait for this season to kickoff, lots of possibilities for success, just need to avoid critical injuries.

If Hoover can stop turning the ball over, his/TCU's ceiling in a league with no real giants in it might be pretty high. Basic football logic suggests that he won't turn it over as much this year as he did in his first.
