At halftime of the 2022 season opening contest in Boulder, the debut of new Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes, his heralded offense was held scoreless and TCU clung to a measly 1-point lead thanks to a Derius Davis punt return touchdown. Newly-named QB1 Chandler Morris was forced to the sideline with injury and the new era of TCU Football appeared in peril. The Horned Frogs promptly ran off 31 unanswered points to take the victory and ran off another eleven straight wins to earn a Playoff bid and advance to the National Championship.
In 2023, it will be the Buffaloes debuting a new coach and new QB as Deion Sanders will make his FBS coaching debut with his son Shedeur set to lead the offense on the field.
