Michigan = a history of under-performing in big games TCU = a history of over-performing in big games Points to a TCU win, despite Michigan's overall better talent. Also, Michigan's coaching has a tendency to get overly conservative when it counts. Michigan's pass rush will be the toughest aspect of the game for the Frogs.
If TCU can get ahead early and get Michigan out of its ability to rely on running game and get turnovers at critical times and somehow hold up on the line of scrimmage against those Michigan defensive lineman then they have a chance, but realistically Michigan just wears teams down and TCU is not deep enough to hang with them absent some big breaks. The Horned Frogs were a 12-1 team teetering on 7-5. The big comebacks against Okie State and K-State in the first game, the last second drill to beat Baylor, the comeback in Lawrence to beat Kansas and lets not overlook the absurd Texas offense which if you had told me before that game that TCU would only score 17 I would have told you Texas wins by double figures, were all games that in any other year TCU drops at least 2 or 3. I see this as a Michigan 38 TCU 24 kind of game.
Hard to predict this one. I’d like to see the Toads win but I think Michigan has the better depth. Michigan 34 TCU 21
Would like to see TCU win this one - but it ain't happening. Michigan is the better team (by a bunch). Michigan by 10.
TCU has always been a team I thought I could follow if Texas weren't a thing. I'd love to see them win, but I just don't see it hap'nin. Michigan 42 TCU 20
You sound like a toad Sunday morning genius. The Bulldogs will chew the horny toads up. Enjoy this one only. SEC rules the country.
