2022 Fiesta Bowl: #2 Michigan Wolverines (13-0) v. #3 TCU Horned Frogs (12-1)

well, second half adjustments need to be legendary.

 

[MichiganCardinal]

Realistically the Ohio State game would have been a score just like this had there not been two big plays for TDs. Here the two big plays were just short and they choked it away.

It sounds absurd but I’m not worried. We will know within 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. If we see a good team, they should catch up quick. If we see what we saw against Illinois, it’s over.

Blowhard announcer too busy listening to himself talk about nothing completely ignores TCU Coach fucking up trying to ice Moody.   Could be a turning point.

Just remember.  The Big Ten was brutally bad this year and Michigan or Ohio State probably don't run the table in any other conference (maybe the ACC). 

 

But please, if there is a God, do not let Ohio State win the championship.

Yeah, I'd be wary of anybody burying the Wolves at this point. TCU didn't play significantly better that Michigan in that half, and Michigan's mistakes are a big factor in the score.

McCarthy needs to make the read on that and option into something else.

[lordstanley]

Michigan defense has given team every chance to get back in it. Have to do it again. 

[holygoat]

UM's red zone offense is really bad.

Again!! Nothing less than a TD this time, JJ.

That will do! Unless the ref decides to treat Bell handing the ball to the ref as a fumble. 

21-16.

Well that helps!

[sagnam]

Need the defense to keep them out of the end zone.

[lordstanley]

Some kind of response by TCU. 
28-16. 

[MichiganCardinal]

TCU isn’t going to roll over like Rutgers. Offense needs to keep cooking.

[sagnam]

The turnovers and field goals are killer when you defense can’t keep them out of end zone.

[MichiganCardinal]

Embarrassing output. If it’s a business trip, you’re going to be fired.

[Kamakzie]

What an epic failure to an otherwise great season..

[lordstanley]

Inability to pick up 4 or 5 yards on the run like they did in the regular seals on has been a killer. 

[Kamakzie]

F this....

[romad1]

fugly

[lordstanley]

So turns out it’s the Michigan defense that got totally worn down. 

[holygoat]

TCU's offense looks more like UM than UM's does.

[romad1]

That was too early to go for 2

[romad1]

Man, the comeback narrative needs a boost

[Motor City Sonics]

Wow.  Maybe the team already knows coach is leaving for the Colts gig.   Or maybe they bought into their own hype too much (like the Lions last week).   

 

Big Ten sucked this year.    I hope Georgia brings that point home tonight because as much as this game win or lose really won't affect my life, OSU winning the whole thing would make me sick.
