What’s at Stake?

TCU returns from a bye week to play its final home game of the season, already bowl-eligible after a dominant 38-13 win over Oklahoma State. Arizona, a Big 12 newcomer, must win its final two games to secure bowl eligibility. The Wildcats broke a five-game losing streak last week with a 27-3 victory over Houston, capped by a celebratory backflip from running back Quali Conley.

Key Matchup

TCU’s Passing Attack vs. Arizona’s Secondary
TCU quarterback Josh Hoover leads the Big 12 with 323.3 passing yards per game and has 22 touchdown passes, good for second in the conference. His receiving corps boasts four 500-yard receivers for the first time since 2015, led by Jack Bech’s 982 yards—just 18 yards shy of becoming the program’s sixth-ever 1,000-yard receiver. Arizona’s defense, however, has been strong against the pass, allowing only 216.6 yards per game and 12 touchdowns through the air this season.

Players to Watch

• Arizona: Receiver Tetairoa McMillan leads the Big 12 and ranks third nationally with 1,136 receiving yards this season. He’s the first player in Wildcats history to post consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. McMillan’s career total of 3,240 receiving yards is just 112 yards away from breaking Arizona’s all-time record.
• TCU: Linebacker Johnny Hodges has been a standout for the Frogs with 71 tackles this season. After an injury-limited 2022 campaign, Hodges is back as the team’s leading tackler, a role he also held in 2022 when TCU reached the national championship game.

Facts & Figures

• Arizona sophomore safety Genesis Smith delivered a stellar performance against Houston, tallying seven tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble.
• TCU receivers average 20.5 catches per game, ranking second nationally behind North Texas (21.1). North Texas features former TCU quarterback Chandler Morris, who transferred last season.
• Arizona kicker Tyler Loop set a school record with a 62-yard field goal against Houston, eclipsing the previous mark by five yards.
• TCU head coach Sonny Dykes served as Arizona’s offensive coordinator from 2007-09.

This showdown pits TCU’s high-powered passing game against Arizona’s formidable secondary, with both teams fighting for postseason positioning.
