ABOUT THE GAME
- After an open week, TCU is home Saturday to host Arizona at 2 p.m. on Senior Day.
- When last in action, the Horned Frogs became bowl eligible after a 38-13 win over Oklahoma State on Nov. 9. TCU built a 24-0 halftime lead.
- TCU has won three of its last four games. 4TCU and Arizona are meeting for just the third time in their history and the first since a 13-10 Horned Frogs’ overtime win in 2003.
- TCU has four players with at least 500 yards receiving (Jack Bech, 982; Savion Williams, 580; Eric McAlister, 552; JP Richardson, 523) for the first time since 2015.
- The 20.5 receptions per game by TCU wide receivers lead the nation for Power Four Conference programs and rank second in the FBS (North Texas, 21.1).
- TCU wide receivers have caught 13 touchdown passes in the red zone, placing third nationally behind Indiana (15) and Texas (14).
HORNED FROGS TO WATCH
- Quarterback Josh Hoover ranks fifth nationally in passing yards (3,233) and with 46 completions of 20-plus yards. He is tied for ninth with 22 touchdown passes.
- Hoover has passed for at least two touchdowns in 12 of his 16 career starts while topping 300 yards in 11 games.
- Wide receiver Jack Bech is sixth in the FBS with 982 receiving yards while tying for eighth with nine touchdown catches.
- Bech needs 18 yards to record the sixth 1,000-yard season in TCU history. He would become the fifth player. Josh Doctson reached the mark in the 2014-15 seasons. The last Horned Frog with 1,000 yards was Quentin Johnston with 1,069 in TCU’s 2022 College Football Playoff season.
- Bech’s 16 receptions of at least 20 yards tie for fifth in the FBS.
- Wide receiver Savion Williams has led TCU in rushing in three of the last four games and is the first Horned Frog with a rushing, receiving and passing touchdown in the same season since Kenny Hill in 2017.
- Eric McAlister is third in the nation in yards per catch at 22.08 which also ranks No. 2 in TCU history for a player with at least 20 receptions, trailing only Quentin Johnston (22.14, 2020) by .06.
- McAlister leads the FBS with 92.0 percent (23-of-25) of his receptions resulting in a first down.
SERIES HISTORY
- TCU and Arizona are tied at 1-1 in their all-time series.
- The No. 15 Wildcats won 35-31 at TCU in 1999, before the 19th-ranked Horned Frogs took a 13-10 overtime decision in Tucson in 2003.
REMEMBER ME?
- TCU Head Coach Sonny Dykes was Arizona’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for three seasons (2007- 09).
- Dykes helped the Wildcats to the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl and 2009 Holiday Bowl. Arizona had previously gone 10 seasons without a bowl appearance.
- During his time in Tucson, Dykes coached eventual Super Bowl LII Most Valuable Player Nick Foles while also recruiting Rob Gronkowski to Arizona.
- TCU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jeremiah Donati was an athletics marketing and development associate at Arizona from 2000-02.
