The Texas Christian University Horned Frogs (4-4) will face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-5) on Thursday night in a Week 10 showdown. Both teams are coming off a bye week and are looking for a win to get them one step closer to being bowl-eligible as they prepare for a Big 12 clash in Lubbock, Texas.
The Horned Frogs will be without their starting quarterback Chandler Morris, who suffered an MCL injury during the game against Iowa State. Josh Hoover is expected to lead the Horned Frogs against the Red Raiders after starting for TCU against BYU in Week 7 and Kansas State in Week 8.
On the other hand, Texas Tech is struggling with injuries, with nine players listed as out or questionable for the game against TCU. Quarterback Behren Morton has returned to practice after suffering a sprain to his AC joint in his right shoulder during Week 4 against West Virginia. It remains to be seen if he will start against TCU, but he could be in the mix.
Offensive Coordinator Zach Kittle expressed his appreciation for Morton coming back from injury, saying, “Behren brings a different energy from all the guys in the quarterback room; he’s got a little more juice to him. He’s a leader and a guy to lean on, so it is excellent to have him back out there.”
Texas Tech is slightly favored to win in the Week 10 Thursday night matchup against TCU at Jones AT&T Stadium.
