Former TCU players excel elsewhere during the Horned Frogs bye week
Summary

TCU faces criticism following a Week Zero loss after former roster members recorded significant individual performances elsewhere. Quarterback Josh Hoover, now with Indiana, completed 81 percent of his passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers in his season opener. Meanwhile, former Horned Frog quarterback Hauss Hejny, now leading Colorado State, recorded 214 passing yards and five touchdowns in a victory over Wyoming. These performances follow public comments from TCU coach Sonny Dykes regarding the program's previous quarterback turnover issues. While Jaden Craig currently occupies the starter role at TCU, these results have drawn increased attention to the program's roster management and development strategies. TCU remains sidelined during its bye week while its former players contribute to new teams.
