[QUOTE="Brevity Frog, post: 3250486, member: 73360"] That even if Max plays well tonight, we lose. By 14 to 24 points. The talent differential was real. And frankly the coaching differential was real. Our coaches came into this one naive. I heard the recording of Smart’s pregame speech. Good grief. It’s “rally the hordes of Mordor” type stuff. Guarantee you it was nothing like Sonny’s “do your job” cream pie speech. And this “the bigger the game the simpler the scheme” stuff doesn’t work when you or are out-talented like this. Gillespie was so naive to say that over and over. You’d better scheme the [ Finebaum ] out of the other side if you are as talent deficient as we were tonight. But the differential got huge because Max played so poorly. The defense was on the field all the time, typically with a short field. It just wasn’t his night. He couldn’t hit anybody. We couldn’t have beaten Kansas if he’d played like he did tonight. If he hits a couple of wide open guys, or makes better zone reads, it’s a different game, albeit a loss. At the end of the day, Max brought us here. On his back. I’ll love him forever for it. He couldn’t have won tonight in any circumstance I don’t think. It’s a shame the game got away from him and the team. TCU did all this with a team with only four bowl experienced players and a first year coach. We will see about next season. Who knows, maybe we will be better. It’ll be fun to watch. Go Frogs. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
