Redshirt freshman Josh Hoover threw for 439 yards and four touchdowns in his first start for TCU while filling in for injured quarterback Chandler Morris.
TCU wide receiver Dylan Wright works for extra yards after making a catch against BYU defenders Mory Bamba and Preston Rex during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas. Redshirt freshman Josh Hoover threw for 439 yards and four touchdowns in his first start for TCU while filling in for injured quarterback Chandler Morris as the Horned Frogs won 44-11 over Big 12 newcomer BYU on Saturday.
Millard Bradford, a senior defensive back in his first start this season, had a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown that put the Horned Frogs ahead before Hoover had taken his first snap. Their first offensive drive ended on Hoover's 42-yard TD pass to JP Richardson, who ricocheted off a defender at the 20 and ran into the end zone for a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
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.Big 12's new members see evidence of excitement in ticket, merchandise salesHoover finished 37-of-58 passing with two interceptions, one of the picks on a tipped ball in the fourth quarter.
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.
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. That followed an exchange of turnovers, with Eddie Heckard's leaping one-handed interception inside the 10 before BYU gave it back three plays later when Slovis fumbled after getting hit from behind.
