TCU coach Sonny Dykes compares Max Duggan to another Horned Frog great, Andy Dalton.
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — How do you win over the college football-watching country after a loss? TCU quarterback Max Duggan, who was crying and red-faced earlier this month after his team fell agonizingly short in the Big 12 title game against Kansas State for the Horned Frogs’ only loss of the season, can tell you.
It was redemption for 2014, when TCU was dropped from fourth to sixth in the final rankings because the Big 12 didn’t have a title game for it to win. It was a culmination of sorts for a program that former head coach Gary Patterson built from a WAC nobody to a Big 12 powerhouse. It was a redeeming arc after a 3-5 start to 2021 resulted in Patterson’s firing, Sonny Dykes’ hiring and a subsequent rise through the conference.
When Dykes came in ahead of this season, he named Chandler Morris the starting quarterback over Duggan. In this era in which the transfer portal is king, Duggan still decided to stay. He got another chance after Morris was injured in the season opener against Colorado, and never let go of the job. And there he was on Thursday, taking a question comparing himself to TCU football royalty.
