TCU Horned Frogs
TCU continues to ride an explosive offensive stretch led by quarterback Josh Hoover. The sophomore has thrown for 2,124 yards and 21 touchdowns across seven games, averaging over 300 passing yards per contest. Four different receivers have caught at least 21 passes, including deep threat Eric McAlister, who leads the Big 12 with a 21.5-yard average per catch and seven touchdowns.
Defensively, TCU has shown flashes of dominance, despite occasional lapses late in games. Linebacker Namdi Obiazor sealed last week’s win over Baylor with a late interception, showcasing the defense’s playmaking ability under pressure.
Coach Sonny Dykes praised his team’s consistency and resilience, noting that the Horned Frogs “know how to win” and continue to perform well in high-pressure moments. With bowl eligibility in reach, TCU’s balanced offensive rhythm remains their biggest advantage heading into Morgantown.

West Virginia Mountaineers
West Virginia’s quarterback situation remains uncertain entering Week 9. Starter Khalil Wilkins exited last week’s 45-13 loss at UCF with an injury, leaving true freshman Scotty Fox and walk-on Scott Kean to split practice reps this week. Fox, who became the first true freshman to start for the Mountaineers since 1952, may get his second straight start if Wilkins remains sidelined.
Injuries and ineffective play have forced coach Rich Rodriguez to start four different quarterbacks in four conference games. The result has been one of the most stagnant passing attacks in the Big 12 — West Virginia completed just 11 of 28 passes for 79 yards in last week’s loss.
The defense has been left on the field far too long due to offensive struggles, contributing to the team’s four-game conference skid. At home, the Mountaineers will need their defense and rushing game to keep them competitive against TCU’s up-tempo attack.
