Losing RT Kent Perkins was going to hurt us no matter how you slice it but we didn't settle into any real semblance of an actual game plan until the game was already out of hand. TCU's defense, while well-coached and smart is quite vulnerable, but we showed little ability to make them pay for their issues.
I'm not sure what the five yard comeback sprint pass (a hard throw to execute and the upside is.....5 yards?) or the 2 WRs vs. 3 DBs lead screen is supposed to do to the TCU defense, but it got us a Daje Johnson concussion and our first five possessions went for a total of one yard while accumulating a safety and a fumble.
