Let’s just be up front about this. TCU is not a good football team right now, especially on offense. They made a subpar Oklahoma defense look elite on Saturday, as Max Duggan took hit after hit behind a still-awful offensive line.
Questionable and conservative play calling eventually manifested what felt inevitable from the get go: this was a 60-minute concession that Oklahoma is better and we should not try anything too risky for fear of getting blown out.
*checks final score*
TCU punted from plus territory twice on the day, and punted three times with less than five yards to gain, all while trailing the entire game.
