The Cougars weren't expecting TCU's backup to torch them through the air Saturday. Did it come down to the QB's talents or the wrong game plan?
TCU quarterback Josh Hoover looks to pass with blocking against BYU linebacker AJ Vongphachanh during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.The 2023 national championship game banner was plastered across the second deck railing. The “hypnotoad” that galvanized and captured the absurdity of the Horned Frogs’ Cinderella run last year made an appearance on the jumbotron. Fans rushed into Fort Worth donning No.
“I thought he made some throws that I was not expecting,” BYU head coach Kalani Sitake admitted. “But they put him in a position where he could have success and he delivered.” Plus, the Horned Frogs were averaging just over 31 pass attempts with a starter. Why would that increase? Which brings us to another issue: Most of Hoover’s receivers were wide open. He sliced BYU’s defense with intermediate passes. He was 11-of-15 passing for 158 yards on throws 10-to-15 yards out. It was a clinic in getting the ball out and without much resistance.Was BYU prepared for that, not expecting TCU to trust the accuracy of its freshman quarterback?
“We didn’t make things even difficult on him,” Sitake admitted. “We didn’t pressure him and get to him and make things uncomfortable. It just goes to show, give that guy time and he can really hurt you. Hats off to him.”
