It’s still early in the college football season, but Saturday’s matchup between TCU and Kansas will involve two teams playing with a sense of desperation. Both programs had high hopes in the preseason,

2. TCU is led by sophomore quarterback Josh Hoover, who’s had an excellent start to the season. He has completed 111 of 167 passes (69.2%) for 1,418 yards and 11 touchdowns through four games. He threw for 396 yards and three touchdowns vs. SMU but also had two interceptions.

Another aspect that has made Daniels’ season such a disappointment is that Kansas returned most of its top receivers from the last few seasons. Luke Grimm, Lawrence Arnold and Quentin Skinner were all key pieces for the Jayhawks last season and have plenty of production to match their experience.
