TCU prevails in overtime of Cheez-It Bowl in battle of inept offenses

By Drew Davison

People expected TCU and Cal to put on a defensive battle in the Cheez-It Bowl. Offensive meltdown may be more apt.

Whatever the description, TCU and Cal went to overtime to settle the Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday night at Chase Field. And TCU prevailed with a 10-7 victory after the first overtime.

Thank junior kicker Jonathan Song, who drilled a 27-yard field goal to end it. TCU (7-6) finished a season plagued by injuries with a winning record.

“This will be one of those seasons you’ll remember as much as the Rose Bowl year because of what these guys had to go through and everything that they had to put up with and fought back to get to a winning season,” coach Gary Patterson said. “That’s hard to do.”

"Inept" is harsh for the hometown paper. We are still trying to recruit folk, dude. Could've mentioned the coaching effort it took to reach the bowl, and that we went into the the game with the least experienced QBs on the roster, down a starting RB, and that our number one wideout was hobbled early in the first quarter. I wish the S-T would help us out a little more. They shouldn't wonder why more TCU folk don't pay for subscriptions.

Well Inept was the correct term to use because it was true. Given the problems with the Program this year just glad it went in the W column. Credit should be given to all that TCU did, not give up and did in fact prevail in the end. Ugly sloppy game on both sides of the ball. That is the truth of the matter but Bowl games with the long lay off from the end of the season off can be this way.
