Fort Worth, Texas - Texas Christian University's starting quarterback Chandler Morris will miss the first home game of the season for the Horned Frogs after suffering a sprained knee in the season opener's 38-13 win against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Late in the third quarter on Friday, a Buffalo defender landed on Morris' leg at the end of a quarterback keeper play, causing TCU star athlete to remain sidelined and with tears for the rest of the game.

On Monday, head coach Sonny Dykes revealed Morris won't play in the school's home opener on Saturday against Tarleton State, and will return on a week-to-week basis.

In the season opener, Morris won the starting quarterback job over fourth-year Max Duggan, who has 29 career starts for the Horned Frogs.
