JJ McCarthy with a pick 6! Great read by the DB for TCU.

Liked the decision to go for 4th and goal earlier but awful play call.

 

[JackEd]

What time did this start? I thought it was a 4:30 start time. TCU looking awesome on D right now.

 

[Wildcat97]

So conflicted on this game. If Bucks win, would love to get a rematch for a title, that would be epic. But, heart winning out when TSUN does something wrong

To me the most disappointing part of OSU’s loss to Michigan was getting beat by McCarthy. He sugs.

And that call on 4th and 2 was dumb.

UM totally F-ing around early. Squander points on first drive and then pick 6.

Agree. Line up tight and PA pass with McCarthy rolling so he can run if nothing there. Really outthinking there.

Ahortly after 4:00. Hate when that happens!.

 

[Wildcat97]

I hesitate because we could get whipped tonight, but my God in 5 quarters of playoff football TSUN under garbaugh has looked like hot trash

 

[cjb5656]

UM about to get boat-raced if they don’t answer with a TD. McCarthy is awful and not capable of leading them back.

 

[Auggie]

The tOSU v UGA line just went up to Dawg -14.

TCU imposing their will on UM.

Jimmy thought he could get cute there and it backfired

TCU imposing their will on UM.

If UM gets the TD on this drive they can play their game and be okay. Down by three scores would be death. McCarthy has made a couple throws this drive, but if it becomes a situation where he has to throw this game will be over quickly.

 

[Chop Stix]

Michigan O-line is getting manhandled

 

[Orin Swift]

UM gets a very opportune pick off a tipped pass by the TCU WR.

And they capitalize with a massive downfield pass!

Roman Wilson has picked his games wisely on when to have big games (2021 OSU, 2022 TCU)

 

[cjb5656]

I still don’t like McCarthy as a QB, but he got it done there. Brand new game.

 

[Chop Stix]

Talk about a momentum shift

 

[Orin Swift]

How do you come away from reviewing and decide it was not a TD? The ball bobbled. Refs suck.

 

[KingKong24]

Wow how do they not call that a TD? And now TCU gets the ball.

 

[OldSoulon]

Fumble from the one foot line!

Whoa Nellie and Katie bar the door!

 

[Orin Swift]

Oh my god this game

 

[Raider6309]

How can the refs suck that bad to say it was short of the goal line

 

[OldSoulon]

Oh my god this game

Jimmy should have called the flea flicker there

 

[KingKong24]

SEC refs in the Fiesta Bowl like Ohio State Clemson 2019. It’s a conspiracy I tell ya!!

 

[JackEd]

I don’t know how that wasn’t a TD. The ball was moving until he was in the end zone. TCU catching breaks, and Michigan just trying to give this one away.

 

[Chop Stix]

Credit to the TCU QB. He's making a lot of plays.

 

[Orin Swift]

That was a bananas touchdown. What should have been a 10+ yard loss or best case scenario likely a throw away pass turns into a touchdown.
