TCU Offensive Players to Watch Vs. Baylor

TCU returns six starters, but has questions at the most important position entering the regular season.

The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs make their way to McLane Stadium in Waco on Saturday, looking to keep their spot in the College Football Playoff race, and continue their quest towards an undefeated season and a Big 12 title.

The Baylor Bears might have something to say about that, however, as they look to bounce back from an embarrassing 31-3 loss to Kansas State last week.

It will be Senior Night in Waco, and what better way for the Bears to send out their veterans than with a signature win at home over a top-5 team?

Now, here’s a look at some of the top offensive players to watch for TCU.

QB Max Duggan

Max Duggan has been one of the best quarterbacks in the Big 12 this season, and has been an integral part of the Horned Frogs undefeated campaign. 

This season, Duggan has completed 180 of 273 passes for 2,531 yards and 25 touchdowns, with two interceptions and has rushed 130 times for 555 yards and six more scores. 

“It’s really quarterback friendly. You can tell by the past teams and quarterbacks he’s had,” Duggan said of the offense early this fall. “There have been a ton of great ones that played in the NFL, that were great in college. There’s excitement playing with coach (Garrett) Riley and coach Dykes’ offense. The friendliness of it.”

RB Kendre Miller Jr.

Miller is one of the most explosive runners in the Big 12, and broke the game wide-open against Texas last week. When the Frogs are really hitting on all cylinders offensively, it is usually because Miller is in a groove. 

This season, Miller has rushed 174 times for 1,147 yards and 13 touchdowns. 

WR Quentin Johnston

Johnston is the star of TCU’s passing attack. He's projected to be in the conversation of WR1 for the 2023 NFL Draft and has all the tools to be a future All-Pro at the next level.

This season. Johnston has utilized his 6-4 frame to his advantage, leading the Horned Frogs in catches (45), receiving yards (716), and touchdowns (five). He also has blazing speed that allows him to win at the point of attack downfield as a vertical option.
