TCU Overcomes Deficit, Defeats Colorado in Thrilling Comeback

On October 5th, 2025, TCU staged a thrilling comeback to defeat Colorado 35-21 in their Big 12 matchup. The Buffaloes had jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but TCU quarterback Josh Hoover led his team's rally, throwing four touchdowns and running for another score.

Colorado's Kaidon Salter had a tough night, throwing three interceptions before halftime. This allowed TCU to erase the early deficit and take control of the game. The Horned Frogs went ahead for good on Hoover's 18-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Manjack IV with just under six minutes remaining.

The win was an important bounce-back for TCU, which had lost to Arizona State the previous week. Colorado, meanwhile, suffered its third Big 12 loss of the season, already matching its total from last year when the Buffaloes were 7-2 and narrowly missed the conference championship game.
