One interesting storyline that I am sure will be covered in the broadcast is that TCU has three former UH coaches on staff. Briles is OC, Meacham is WR coach and Holgorsen is a defensive consultant, analyzing the opponents offense to make recommendations to the defensive coordinator. Ryan Dorchester is also at TCU, who was GM at UH under Holgorsen, and now Associate AD for Football Administration at TCU.

I created another thread with info for anyone attending before seeing this. I’ll be there with the wife. Weather should be pretty good by kickoff.

QB Hoover seemed off at SMU but maybe that’s due to the stout DLine of SMU. He did quite well at Kansas and got the W.

Jack Bech had two TDs at Kansas. He transferred from LSU for 2023 season.

Our QB play will be intriguing. Hopefully the running game can get something going.

Holgorsen still gets buyout money even with a new job? Im not sure how it works, heard all kinds of things over time regarding the other ex UH coaches.

Do they still have that RB that killed us last year?

No. Emani Bailey is playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Cam Cook is their workhorse and keep any eye on Jeremy Payne, 4 :star: freshman from Hightower.

Emani Bailey had 23 CAR, 126 YDS, 1 TD vs. UH last year. He was drafted in third round by Birmingham Stallions.

TCU only averages 101 yards rushing per game. Cam Cook is the leading rusher 52 yards per game and a 3.5 yard per carry average. Four-star recruit … the No. 23 running back in the nation and No. 61 overall prospect in Texas in '23 class. Was injured last year.

I hope that Batton is indeed not out.

Saw in another thread he had cramps so should be back

Manjack back at practice

Good thing about tcu game is they give up 175 yards a game on the ground which is horrible. Sneed and Sanford need to be let loose.

Lets hear from the inferiority Coogs about how he’s gone. Lying trolls

Depth chart is real interesting at WR and RB

Williams over Manjack?

Sneed has earned it
ManJack has been hurt

More about Manjack being dinged up and being cautious about his return.

Yes, but there are guys I hadn’t seen before on the 2 deep at WR. Also, a four deep at RB is different too

Update: looks like just Shoulders is off the WR 2 deep. Number 8 Williams was behind Jonah Wilson but moved over to Manjack’s position. Jayshon Ridgle is new on there I think. Sneed was 1 on depth chart vs ISU so not really different

TCU being favored by 17 feels like a lot.

Have you seen our offense :woozy_face:?
