TCU football countdown highlights Davey O’Brien ahead of season opener

The TCU football team approaches its 2026 season opener against North Carolina in Dublin, Ireland, on August 29. With eight days remaining until the game, the focus is on former quarterback Davey O’Brien, whose No. 8 jersey is retired. O’Brien, TCU's only Heisman Trophy winner from 1938, led the Horned Frogs to an undefeated season and national championship. His accolades include multiple first-team All-Southwest Conference honors and unanimous All-American status. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the 1939 NFL Draft, where he also found success as a professional.
