TCU’s defense is allowing 27.8 points and gave up 50 to Baylor and 40 to SMU in its two defeats. 5.

Basically, Hoke can’t afford to lose to his former squad in his first month of competition. Please try again. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray throws a pass against the Falcons during a game at State Farm Stadium. San Diego State (3-1) had a bye last week so it has had ample time to prepare for TCU, which lost to SMU in overtime last week. Most of all, potential players see a head man like Hoke – a tough-minded coach who now has the perennial downtrodden program on the rise.

It wasn't until a coaching change in 1973 that Hart and his teammates were pushed to the next level. Now that the draft is here, that team I saw drafting Moore is no longer a possibility.

Hart was signed by the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 1966, and he was named the starter a year later. That sounds like some kind of chore.

TCU could have scored two more touchdowns in the last five minutes but the dogs had been called off.

San Diego State’s coach at the time was Tom Craft, a guy who had a ton of success at the junior-college level but really had no business running a Division I program.

By 1984, Lomax seemed to have developed himself into one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Though most of the best quarterbacks in Cardinals history were featured above, there are a few more players who left an indelible mark on team history but didn't quite make the top five. The Mountain West Conference had not been formed. Moore needs one of his patented 400-yard, four-touchdown games in front of the ESPN audience to remain a factor in the Heisman race.
