The Colorado Buffaloes begin their 2022 football campaign with a home game against the TCU Horned Frogs. Sonny Dykes takes over for head coaching duties for Gary Patterson, and TCU could again be a tough team to beat.
Questions have swirled all offseason about who will start at quarterback for TCU. Well, we have an answer, somewhat.
According to Steven Johnson of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dykes plans on playing three different quarterbacks against the Buffs. The Horned Frogs will feature a mixture of Chandler Morris, Max Duggan, and Sam Jackson as Dykes and his staff hopes that one of them runs away with the full-time job.

In reality, this makes it difficult for the Buffs to prepare. Instead of zeroing in on one guy, they need to prepare for three.
On the flip side, the Buffs still haven’t named a starter, and it’s between Brendon Lewis and JT Shrout, so maybe Dorrell plays his own chess game and rolls out both guys in the opener.
Duggan got the majority of the work last season for the Horned Frogs, although Morris looked impressive in his playing time. Now, Dykes has been using Jackson as well.
Three quarterbacks is an interesting strategy, and while it will be difficult for the Buffs, it could also work to their advantage in the season opener.
