I finally had the nerve to watch the second half of the OU-TCU game. Here is what I saw...
Terrible starting field positions: got the ball on the 8, 7, 10, 16 yard lines. Trevor actually ran for 16 yards to continue the play. Trevor also had some nice passes to Shepard. Managed to march down the field to set-up the field goal which was missed. Mead (as big as he is) needs to know how to catch the ball!
Punter grounded the play with his knee, so TCU gets the ball on OU's 26 yard line...next play is TCU's touch down. They decided not to kick the PAT. Holding them to the 6 points.....but with these two observations, OU has given up 9 points.
Very conservative offensive calls, but at the 9 minute in the 3rd quarter Perine gets the TD making the score 30-20.
In the 4th quarter, TCU changes QB's, meaning he is not tired from OU's defense, and is eager to play! Could have gotten a safety when TCU was backed up on the 5 yard line. That's another 2 points OU could have gotten. OU finally gets decent field position but penalties puts OU in 3rd & 16, when Trevor threw the interception while being sacked. TCU is on the OU 46 yard line. What was Mike Stoops thinking with the 3 man front?? Luckily, all TCU got was a field goal.
At 2:06, TCU is 3rd & 8, and the QB gets a good spot on his slide. It is 3rd & 8 with 57 seconds. The on-side kick recovery was very important!
