Hoover throws for 439 yards and four TDs in his first TCU start as Frogs roll past BYU 44-11

FORT WORTH, Texas -- , TCU redshirt freshman quarterback Josh Hoover was certainly ready for his first career start, and that was no surprise to his teammates or coach Sonny Dykes. “Even when he was a backup, he prepared like he was the starter. ... I’m not sure you come around kids of his character and his ability too often,” Horned Frogs receiver JP Richardson said. “He showed a lot of people what he’s capable of today, and I think he might even showed himself a little bit what he can do.” Hoover completed 37 of 58 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns, all to different receivers, as the Frogs won 44-11 over Big 12 newcomer BYU on Saturday, a week after starter Chandler Morris sprained the MCL in his left knee. “Just really proud of the poise that he showed,” Dykes said.
