TCU and Stanford open the 2024 season with a Friday night clash in the fourth all-time meeting between the programs. The Cardinal will play their first game as an official member of the ACC after being affiliated with conference ties on the West Coast for nearly the last century.
TCU is coming off a disappointing 5-7 campaign less than a season removed from falling to Georgia in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship. The Horned Frogs opened last season with a loss to Colorado at home and will open the season away from the Lone Star State against an ACC team for the first time since 2009.
Stanford was tabbed to finish last in the ACC preseason poll and will enter Year 2 of the Troy Taylor era looking to improve after a 3-9 campaign last season. Stanford is among the leaders in total returning production, and headlining that group is star wide receiver Elic Ayomanor, who led his team in catches (62), yards (1,013), and touchdowns (six).
The Horned Frogs are seeking a return to a bowl game after finishing three of the last five seasons with a losing record. TCU was picked to finish No. 10 in the Big 12 preseason media poll behind conference newcomers Utah and Arizona.
