The Turning Point: What Went Wrong with Jaden Craig and TCU's Offense​

Melissa Triebwasser

With 4:05 left on the game clock, TCU faced a fourth-and-2 at the North Carolina 10-yard line trailing UNC 15-10.

On the sideline, the equation was simple: convert the two yards, punch it into the end zone, and escape Dublin with a gut-check victory to open the season.

At the snap, Jaden Craig pulled the ball and rolled to his left on a designed bootleg. North Carolina's edge pursuit crashed hard inside, leaving nothing but open green turf between the 6-foot-3, 230-pound quarterback and the first-down marker.

"Throughout August camp, that dimension was a focal point. Craig routinely kept the ball on zone reads, took off into the second level, and looked like the dual-threat stabilizer Frog fans had spent two years clamoring for."

I think in practice he was wearing a RED jersey.

Wow, some real analysis; well done, Melissa. I wonder if anyone here takes the few minutes to read this.

My point exactly. With runs by Craig the offense was playing 10 against 11. Run the ball Harvard!

Excellent breakdown of the Frog’s offensive “breakdown” in Dublin. I hope all KFC minions read this, but more importantly I hope the coaching staff reads it…

Good breakdown, but she twice described the weather as a "downpour." Uh, no. Weather really was not much of a factor.

Well done!
