The last time TCU fans saw Chandler Morris go down with a knee injury was September 2nd, 2022. It was the first game of a historic season for TCU, led by that season’s backup quarterback, Max Duggan. TCU entered the ’22-’23 season with Chandler Morris as the starting quarterback. When Morris injured his left knee in the season opener at Colorado, Duggan took over and the rest was history. In TCU’s third loss this season, Morris went down with another injury, and in stepped redshirt freshman Josh Hoover. After taking over for Morris at Iowa State, Hoover finished 11/19 with an interception and a touchdown. However, the deficit Morris and TCU left him was too much to overcome, and the Frogs fell 14-27 in Ames. Hoover was a three-star quarterback out of high school, the 42nd QB in the nation, and the 102nd overall high school player in TX. Some TCU fans have been frustrated all year long with quarterback play and the team’s overall success to begin the season. Sophomore finance major Drew Brown expresses disappointment with TCU’s 3-3 start, especially when facing tough opponents. The running game shines, but the defense, offensive line and passing game require improvement due to conservative playcalling.
