TCU News: Matthew Downing to start, Max Duggan to play vs. Iowa State

Football

With Duggan missing significant time due to a heart issue, it only makes sense that Downing gets the start.

Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said during a news conference on Tuesday that Downing will start, but Patterson hasn’t finalized a plan for all the quarterbacks yet. On Monday, during the Big 12 coaches teleconference, Patterson said all three quarterbacks on TCU’s depth chart — Downing, sophomore Max Duggan and junior college transfer Stephon Brown — will have a role in the game plan.

Taye Barber very well could finish this year as TCU’s leading receiver, and he’s got thoughts on how the offense has changed since the return of Doug Meacham.
