In a competitive matchup at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, TCU secured a 38-27 victory over Kansas. Josh Hoover showcased his skills by throwing for 356 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Horned Frogs to improve their record to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12. JP Richardson's pivotal 89-yard punt return in the second half shifted momentum in TCU's favor, while Jack Bech contributed significantly with 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Kansas struggled to maintain offensive consistency, with Jalon Daniels completing 15 of 34 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. The Jayhawks, now on a four-game losing streak, faced challenges in their home games at Arrowhead Stadium, which is typically the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. The lack of fan support was evident, as many seats remained empty during the game. Despite TCU's three turnovers, their defense effectively contained Kansas's passing game, which was plagued by dropped passes and missed opportunities. The Jayhawks managed to stay close at halftime, trailing 21-17, but could not capitalize on their chances in the second half. A critical moment came when Kansas opted for a field goal instead of a touchdown, allowing TCU to regain the lead shortly after. With this win, TCU continues to dominate the series against Kansas, improving to 11-1 since both teams became conference rivals. The Horned Frogs will look to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Houston next Friday night.
