VITALS: The Wildcats are trying to stop the bleeding from a three-game losing streak. They are coming off a 66-28 loss at home to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. This marks the fourth straight game quarterback Avery Johnson has missed due to injury. Prior, he had made 32 consecutive starts. First-year coach Collin Klein has yet to name a starter for Saturday. It will either be sophomore Dillon Duff or junior Blake Barnett. The Wildcats have started a different quarterback in each of the last three games. Jacob Knuth was the first replacement for Johnson three weeks ago against the Arizona State Sun Devils. After Knuth sustained an ankle injury, Duff and Barnett have both played in the last two games against the Colorado Buffaloes and Oklahoma State. It is likely that Barnett gets his second straight start. The Wildcats need to win the remaining three games to finish above .500 after going 6-6 last season. Oklahoma State transfer Rodney Fields lead the rushing attack with 574 yards and six touchdowns. Jaron Tibbs is the top receiver with 45 catches for 421 yards and four touchdowns. Look for more involvement from tight end Linkon Cure, who had five receptions for 33 yards last week against the Cowboys. Cure, who is a sophomore, is the first five-star recruit in school history. The Horned Frogs have one of the best defenses in the Big 12 conference. They are No. 2 in total yards allowed behind the BYU Cougars. TCU's defense has allowed 1.67 touchdowns per game this year, tied for the eighth-fewest in the FBS and the least in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs are coming off a tough loss on the road to the Arizona Wildcats. TCU is in its fifth season under coach Sonny Dykes, who was the national Coach of the Year in 2022. That year, he led TCU to the College Football Playoff championship game. He won 36 games in his first four seasons. Horned Frogs receiver Jordan Dwyer has posted 12 career 100-yard receiving games, the second most among active FBS players. The offense is led by a highly efficient tight end room, setting a program record for receiving yards (818) and ranking second in receptions (65) and touchdowns (8).
