McAlister is the first TCU honoree since former former Horned Frog quarterback Max Duggan (Oct. 2, 2022). - Walter Camp Football Foundation

  Jaden Craig threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns, seven players found the end zone, and Harvard started their season with a 59-7 win over Stetson on Saturday. The Crimson opened against Stetson for the second straight year, with last year's game a 35-0 Harvard win in Cambridge. Along with the rest of the Ivy League, Harvard begins their season in Week 4 of the college football schedule.

A 28-0 first quarter became a 45-0 halftime lead for Harvard, as Isaiah Bullock found the end zone twice and Craig connected with Ryan Tattersall on a 69-yard receiving score. The reserves came in for the second half. Dante Torres completed three passes for 73 yards, and DJ Gordon rushed for 50 yards and one touchdown. Kael Alexander completed 11 of his 20 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown pass. Michael Dempsey caught his only reception for a 30-yard touchdown. The Hatters (1-3) continue their rough start under first-year coach Michael Jasper, and are off to their worst start since going 0-5 in September 2017. - AP College Football

  Eric McAlister had eight catches for 254 yards and three of the career-high five touchdowns thrown by Josh Hoover as TCU beat SMU 35-24 on Saturday in the last scheduled game between the former Southwest Conference rivals that played for the 104th time in 110 years. Hoover finished 22-of-40 passing for 379 yards, and now has 53 TD passes in his 22 career starts. McAlister's 70-yard catch-and-run score with 9:18 left put TCU (3-0) ahead to stay, and he added a 44-yard touchdown three minutes later. The longer of those scores came three plays after Kevin Jennings' third TD pass for the Mustangs (2-2), a 34-yarder to Jordan Hudson gave them their only lead at 24-21.

The Horned Frogs for now will hold on to a 54-43-7 lead in the "Battle for the Iron Skillet" that had continued since the SWC broke up after the 1995 season, except for 2006 and the pandemic-impacted 2020 season. Jennings finished 24-of-37 passing for 290 yards and three touchdowns, along with two interceptions. There was another impressive catch by McAlister inside the 1 that didn't count, a leaping grab late in the third quarter while defended on a third-and-15 from the 30, though officials ruled his foot landed out of bounds. There was no replay review by officials, even though coach Sonny Dykes called timeout before the Frogs missed a 47-yard field goal. It also appeared McAlister had a catch in the end zone late in the first half, but SMU cornerback Jaelyn Davis-Robinson pulled the ball away for an interception instead of a touchdown as they fell in the end zone. - AP College Football

The safety added five tackles in the win as the Horned Frogs' defense held the Tar Heels to just 222 yards of total offense that included just 50 yards on the ground. North Carolina's 14 points on Monday were also its fewest scored in a home game in eight seasons. - Big 12 Football

  TCU's offensive line was a main component in the Horned Frogs championship run in 2023. The unit stayed healthy and produced consistent results, allowing head coach Sonny Dykes and Co. to succeed through the air and on the ground. The Frogs' top two offensive lineman, however, are heading to the NFL draft: Alan Ali and Steve Avila. Both were named First Team All-Big 12 members for their efforts protecting quarterback Max Duggan and paving the way for running back Kendre Miller.

With offensive lineman Brandon Coleman, Garrett Hayes and Andrew Coker returning, the Frogs have solid depth. What they don't have, however, is a top talent similar to Avila or Ali. Can Alabama transfer Tommy Brockermeyer be dominant for the Frogs out of the gates? Brockermeyer, a 247Sports five star recruit out of All Saints Episcopal High School, didn't receive consistent opportunity at Alabama, playing two games in 2022 as a backup after redshirting in 2021. Brockermeyer was the Dallas Morning News' No. 1 recruit in the Dallas area in 2021. Now that Brockermeyer is back in his home state of Texas, he may have an opportunity to showcase his skills and gain collegiate experience. - Dallas Morning News

  TCU's elite ground game was crucial in the Frogs' run to the national championship in the 2022-2023 season. Running back Kendre Miller led the way, tallying 1399 yards and 17 touchdowns while averaging a whopping 6.2 yards per carry. Miller was consistent, scoring a touchdown in every contest until leaving the Fiesta Bowl with a knee injury. The star Frog running back tallied over one hundred yards against seven teams: SMU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, West Virginia, Texas Tech and Texas. With Miller declaring for the NFL draft, there is a huge opportunity up for grabs in head coach Sonny Dykes' offense. Will the ground game continue to dominate with new faces involved?

Who will be the Frogs' starting running back? The Frogs will have a new starting running back, but who will it be? Dykes has a few solid options with redshirt sophomore Trent Battle, senior Emani Bailey, freshman four-star Cameron Cook and Alabama transfer Trey Sanders. Battle was recruited as a quarterback, but his elite speed and athleticism allowed for a position switch. As a running back, he has a better shot of receiving playing time and making an impact on the offense. Battle did not play a single game in 2021, keeping his redshirt status. In 2022, he played in four contests and received a total of nine carries. Is 2023 Battle's year to shine? Time will tell, but he'll still need to compete for snaps with Bailey, an experienced veteran who averaged 8.1 yards per carry on 31 attempts in 2022, and Sanders, 247 Sports' No. 1 running back in the class of 2019. - Dallas Morning News

  On Instagram, TCU running back Kendre Miller announced he is declaring for the 2023 NFL draft. In 2022, Miller tallied 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns while averaging 6.2 yards per carry. For his stellar season, Miller was named to the All-Big 12 First team. Miller finished his career with 11 games of 100 or more rushing yards, more than double than anyone on the active roster. In 2022, Miller had a streak of five consecutive outings with over 100 yards.

This season, he extended his rushing touchdown streak to 14 consecutive games before it was snapped in the Fiesta Bowl due to injury. It was the longest active streak in the nation and second in TCU's history; Horned Frog legend LaDainian Tomlinson holds the program record with 15. Miller will finish his career ranked ninth on TCU's all-time rushing touchdown leaderboard. His career yards per carry average of 6.7 ranks first among active power five players. - Dallas Morning News
