Jaden Craig Could Fix TCU's Turnover Problem But There's One Big Question​

The Harvard transfer brings elite decision-making and ball security to Fort Worth, but translating that to the Big 12 will define TCU's offensive ceiling in 2026.

TCU didn't have a talent problem. It had a turnover problem.

Over the past two seasons, the Horned Frogs moved the ball as well as almost anyone in the Big 12, but too often, drives ended with the ball going the other way.

Head Coach Sonny Dykes didn't dance around it during an appearance on Frogs Today: "Josh started 31 games here as a quarterback, and we turned the ball over 40 -- he turned the ball over 42 times in those 31 starts."

That's more than one turnover per game from the most important position on the field.

Can’t be much worse. Decision making issues were JH worst problems.

Turnovers are bad and usually critical to the outcome. But keep in mind Hoover moved the ball and I am a bit concerned that with all this talk about turnovers, Craig could become gun shy and the offense stalls too much. You need to execute and score points.

I remember being a fan of Warren Moon with the Houston Oilers in the run-and-shoot. He threw plenty of interceptions becasue he was aggressive, but they moved the ball and scored points; his interceptions were worth it.

Hoovers were not, they lost games.

Well. He’s at a new school now, so he’ll probably never turn it over next season and blame TCU

Maybe, but he showed little to no improvement from year 2 to year 3. He is a stat machine, not as much of a winner.
