TCU made their first College Football Playoff appearance in 2022, as they ended the season ranked #3 in the country. The Horned Frogs beat Michigan in the semifinal round, but they were dominated by Georgia in the national championship game.

The Horned Frogs followed up their great season with a lackluster 5-7 record in 2023, so they are looking to bounce back with a better performance in 2024. Notably, the team will be led by their third-year head coach Sonny Dykes.

Dykes will start sophomore quarterback Josh Hoover in tonight’s matchup. Hoover played in eight games throughout his freshman campaign, throwing for 15 touchdowns and more than 2,200 yards. He should perform even better this year because he gained a lot of experience, which might give TCU the edge tonight.

Stanford has struggled to find success over the past few years, as they have a 9-27 record since 2021. The Cardinal will try to perform better during their first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but they have to navigate a relatively difficult schedule.
