Steven Johnson, TCU Beat Writer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Joins Big 12 Today!

Steven shares his perspective on TCU’s offseason, beginning with the question of whether Sonny Dykes is on the hot seat. He confidently states that he does not believe Dykes is under pressure, highlighting his success with 13 wins and consecutive 9-win seasons as key reasons. Johnson also credits Dykes for leading TCU to victory in the Alamo Bowl without Josh Hoover, which provides some flexibility moving forward.

The discussion then shifts to TCU’s efforts to improve their running game, with Johnson praising Jeremy Payne’s contributions. He also talks about the quarterback competition to replace Josh Hoover, mentioning Jaden Craig as a strong candidate. Despite losing Eric McAlister, TCU remains confident in their wide receiver room.

Overall, Johnson notes that TCU is aiming to stay in the mix for a Big 12 championship this season.
