GAME NOTES

ABOUT THE GAME

• TCU returns to Big 12 play when it plays at Kansas on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
• Due to construction at KU’s on-campus stadium, the Jayhawks are playing this season’s home conference games at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
• GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will be the fifth current NFL stadium the Horned Frogs have played in. During its 2022 College Football Playoff run, TCU took the field in its final three games at AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas), State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.) and SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles).

THE DYNAMIC DUO

• TCU quarterback Josh Hoover ranks third in the FBS in passing yards (1,418) while tying for seventh in touchdown passes (11).
• Hoover’s 68.5 completion percentage is on pace to break TCU’s season record.
• Hoover has passed for at least two touchdowns in seven consecutive games.
• Hoover had a streak of 147 passes without an interception, ranking second all-time at TCU.
• Wide receiver Jack Bech leads the Big 12 and is fourth nationally with 516 receiving yards. He has topped 100 yards in three of four games, including a 200-yard effort against UCF that ranks third among Power Four Conference players this season.
• Bech is on pace for 1,548 receiving yards which would shatter TCU’s season record of 1,327 set by Biletnikoff Award finalist Josh Doctson in 2015.

HORNED FROGS TO CHIEFS

• TCU has 27 players on NFL rosters and no team has more than the Kansas City Chiefs with tight end Jared Wiley, offensive lineman Lucas Niang and running back Emani Bailey.
• Wiley was a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, while Bailey and Niang are on the practice squad.
• Niang was on the active roster for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl titles the last two seasons.

SERIES HISTORY

• Since beginning Big 12 play in 2012, TCU is 10-1 versus Kansas.
• The last meeting took place in 2022 with ESPN’s College GameDay in Lawrence. Max Duggan hit Quentin Johnson on a 24-yard scoring pass with 1:36 to play to give TCU a 38-31 victory.
• The Horned Frogs hold a 26-9-4 lead over the Jayhawks in a series that began with a 41-6 TCU win in Fort Worth in 1942.
• TCU is 2-0-2 in the four games (1944-47) played against the Jayhawks in Kansas City, 12-7 in Lawrence and 12-2-2 in Fort Worth.
• A 20-6 victory at Kansas in 2012 marked the Horned Frogs’ inaugural Big 12 game.
