In a hard-fought battle against the No. 2 Baylor Bears, the TCU Horned Frogs came up just short, losing 45-34 at home in a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats. TCU, now 5-3, found themselves in a deep hole early, trailing 28-7 by the end of the first quarter. But in a display of grit and resilience, they clawed back to make it a competitive showdown.
Leading the charge was TCU quarterback Josh Hoover, who threw for an impressive 386 yards and four touchdowns, though two costly interceptions and a late game fumble hampered the comeback bid. Hoover’s performance showcased both his arm strength and his poise under pressure as he repeatedly connected with his receivers to keep TCU in the fight.
The Horned Frogs’ defense, while facing one of the nation’s most potent offenses, made some big plays of their own. They forced Baylor into four turnovers, creating opportunities that TCU capitalized on to close the gap. TCU's defensive stand was a critical factor in their comeback attempt, as they continually found ways to disrupt Baylor’s momentum.
Despite a determined comeback effort, TCU was unable to overcome the early deficit. This loss brings their record to 5-3 as they look ahead to a road matchup against Oklahoma State. As TCU seeks to bounce back, they’ll aim to carry over the resilience displayed in this hard-fought game against one of the top teams in college football.
