Instead, the Horned Frogs are now slated to welcome North Texas to Amon G. Carter Stadium for a nonconference matchup against the Mean Green. TCU has played the school just three times in the program\u2019s history. The Horned Frogs, who\u2019re 3-0 lifetime against the Mean Green, haven\u2019t faced North Texas in over 20 years. TCU last faced them in 2002, winning 16-10. The Frogs won 19-5 in 2001 and 27-3 in 1999.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">North Texas went 12-2 during the 2025 season and ended the season ranked No. 24 in the AP Poll. The Mean Green defeated San Diego State 49-47 in the New Mexico Bowl. North Texas has seen several changes over the offseason, losing head coach Eric Morris and starting quarterback Drew Mestemaker to Oklahoma State. The Mean Green have since hired former West Virginia head coach Neal Brown to head the program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">TCU now has two nonconference home games locked in for the 2027 season, North Texas and Sam Houston. The Horned Frogs, who\u2019ve finished 9-4 over each of the last two seasons, will face North Carolina in Dublin this year before welcoming Grambling and Arkansas State for nonconference games. TCU has one more slot to fill in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Due to a reported cancellation of the backend of a home-and-home series, TCU will no longer host Stanford&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,8163],"class_list":{"0":"post-256788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news","11":"tag-tcu-football"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
