We must not forget CGP’s chicken [ Finebaum ] decision to NOT get at least a field goal at the end of the first half. We gave away a possession

Last week we put up 500+ yards and I claimed that a large portion was due to Max making gold out of a pile of dookie. I got pasted around this forum..It’s reality. Our best offense this year has been improvised by Max..

You should prepare yourself for disappointment.

A lot of our offense under Boykin was improv and 50-50 balls as well.

Boykin had Josh Doctson, Josh won many jump balls. He made Boykin that much better as Boykin just threw a lot of balls up there and Josh came down with it.

Even if he’d taken a shot at it we were 50 yards away from FG position with like 40 seconds left right? Far from a given we could have just gotten 3 had we chosen to.

The thing is you need to try. Every possession matters.

I don’t disagree with that.

True...And that’s why that offense didn’t work in 2016..It wasn’t a very effective scheme

We’re a few players/moves away from being really great imo.
Reality is the Big 13 aint that great this year and will not make the playoffs. We showed improvement with each game tho. Max is gonna be great next year. Hopefully the whole team will lol.
I didn’t expect a win but loved the fight. Our young team played 100% better on the road against OU than Sam and UTCo at Baylor.

Outside of not getting the ball enough to the TEs, Cumbie called a good game. The players failed to execute enough.

Players failing to execute is a constant theme with this offense. Won't change until they are coached. That aint gonna happen with the OC and assistants we have.
He got the ball early to Wells in the BU game and he dropped a sure TD that would been the difference in the game. Wells and Lynn have been MIA ever since.

Lynn caught a TD last week.

Question..Which Did you most enjoy..the 8th or 9th called speed option for a 1 yard loss?

OUCH!!!
Idk if they showed it on tv, but when we went 3 and out and had to punt from our own endzone after the Hurts fumble, Max was walking off the field after the incompletion on 3rd down, talking to Reagor and motioning with his hands like he was telling Reagor where he wanted him to break off his route or run his route or something.
Might have been nothing but it just felt kind of odd to me as I watched it. They have no chemistry at all and we're going into the last game of the season and the two of them have not been on the same page very often.

* TCU was 3-for-3 in the red zone, improving to 48-of-51 (94.1 percent) on the season.
* TCU scored for the 344th consecutive game. It's the nation's second-longest current streak and fourth all-time in NCAA history. The Horned Frogs haven't been blanked since Nov. 16, 1991, at Texas (32-0).
* For the third straight game, TCU's team captains were Ross Blacklock, Cordel Iwuagwu, Jalen Reagor and Garret Wallow. Wallow has been a captain each game this season.

Individual Notes
Offense
* Max Duggan ran for 92 yards on 12 carries to lead TCU in rushing for the fourth time this season.
* Duggan had a career long 62-yard run, the longest by a TCU quarterback since Trevone Boykin had a 69-yard touchdown at Kansas State in 2015.
* Duggan’s 11-yard scoring run was his sixth of the season.
* Duggan has run for a score in five of the last six games.
* Sewo Olonilua’s 1-yard scoring run was his team-best seventh touchdown of the season and 17th of his career.
Defense
* Garret Wallow had 16 stops, including two for a loss and one sack, to lead TCU in tackles for the ninth time in 11 games this season.
* Wallow reached double figures in tackles for the sixth time this season and ninth time in his career.
* Freshmen safeties Ar’Darius Washington and Nook Bradford had career-best totals of 14 and 13 tackles, respectively.
* Bradford had two tackles for loss, tying a career-high, and a strip fumble and recovery for his first career takeaway. His previous career-best in tackles was three in the Baylor game.
* Vernon Scott’s 98-yard interception return for a touchdown was 1 yard short of a school record. Quincy Butler holds the mark with a 99-yard Pick 6 against Southern Miss in 2004.
* Scott had the second interception of his career to go with a fumble recovery.
* Trevon Moehrig forced a fumble with Scott on the recovery. In last week’s win at Texas Tech, Scott forced the fumble with Moehrig making the recovery on the Red Raiders’ final possession.
* Moehrig had his second forced fumble of the season.
* Wyatt Harris tied a career-high with seven tackles, including a key fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter.
* Defensive end Parker Workman made his first career start.

Wells had 4 catches for 58 yards in that Baylor game and was playing hurt. That drop wasn't an easy catch as it was over the shoulder. He doesn't miss that again if we give him another chance. If memory serves, Tech was taking away the TEs in coverage and we didn't push the issue.
The problem I have right now is we forget about the TEs until we absolutely need a play. Instead, we should be priming the pump to where they are getting a catch or two long before a red zone situation just so they are into the game and looking for the ball. We are asking them to come in cold and make a great play and that is tough to do consistently.
In this game, on one red zone series, Lynn was open and caught off guard by Duggan's fastball. If he is expecting the ball, that is a touchdown even with the Duggan fastball. Heck Wells almost caught a touchdown on the very next play on a tough pass. I'm thinking if they got a couple touches earlier in the game they make one or both of those plays for us because they have developed the feel in the game. The other part of it is that Duggan has to develop a chemistry with them as well to where they are all on the same page.
