The Houston Cougars will take on the TCU Horned Frogs in a critical Week 6 Big 12 matchup at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Houston has struggled mightily this season, sitting at 1-4 and coming off back-to-back shutout losses to Cincinnati and Iowa State. The Cougars’ offense, led by quarterback Donovan Smith, has failed to find any consistency, averaging just 10.4 points per game. Smith has thrown for 681 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, while the team’s leading rusher, Stacy Sneed, has managed only 217 rushing yards through five games. The lack of offensive production has put added pressure on the defense, which has been solid, allowing 20.8 points per game. TCU, on the other hand, is coming off a 38-27 victory over Kansas, improving their record to 3-2.

The Horned Frogs have been led by quarterback Josh Hoover, who has thrown for 1,774 yards and 14 touchdowns, making TCU one of the most dangerous passing teams in the Big 12. Hoover’s top target, Jack Bech, has been a force, racking up 465 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. TCU’s offense has been dynamic, scoring 42.2 points per game, but their defense has struggled, giving up 31 points per game and showing vulnerability against the pass. For TCU, the key to success will be to continue their aerial dominance and exploit a Houston secondary that has been prone to giving up big plays. If the Horned Frogs can jump out to an early lead, it could force the Cougars into a pass-heavy game script, which has led to turnovers and stalled drives for Houston all season. Conversely, Houston will need to establish a ground game and control the clock to limit TCU’s offensive possessions.

Cougars AI Preview

The Houston Cougars have had a rough start to the 2024 campaign. Quarterback Donovan Smith has struggled to find consistency, throwing more interceptions (5) than touchdowns (2) and failing to lead scoring drives in crucial situations. The Cougars’ offensive line has been unable to provide adequate protection, leading to a stagnant offense that averages just 283.6 total yards per game. On defense, the Cougars have been respectable, allowing 20.8 points per game, but the offense’s inability to sustain drives has left the defense on the field for extended periods. To have a chance against TCU, Houston will need to generate some offensive rhythm early and avoid costly turnovers. If they can do that, they may be able to keep it closer than the spread suggests, but given their recent struggles, it will be an uphill battle.

The Houston Cougars (1-4) will face the TCU Horned Frogs (3-2) on October 4, 2024, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU enters the game as a 17-point favorite, with the Cougars looking to snap a three-game losing streak, while the Horned Frogs aim to secure a second consecutive victory to strengthen their position in the Big 12 standings.

Horned Frogs AI Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs are 3-2 on the season and looking to improve their Big 12 record. Led by quarterback Josh Hoover, TCU’s offense has been explosive, averaging 364.8 passing yards and 42.2 points per game. Hoover has been efficient, completing nearly 70% of his passes, while throwing for 14 touchdowns. His chemistry with receivers like Jack Bech and JoJo Earle has made TCU a formidable passing team. However, TCU’s defense has been a concern, allowing 31 points per game and struggling to contain opposing offenses. Their run defense has been shaky, giving up over 150 yards per game on the ground. The Horned Frogs will need to improve their tackling and get off the field on third downs to avoid letting Houston hang around.
