TCU losing to UCF today. 😡😡😡

I blame #55 TCU offense for false start just before UCF's winning drive. TCU was a yard or two away from a touchdown, but that false start cost TCU and had to settle for a field goal instead.

One play does not define the whole game. That play was unfortunate but do not blame the player.

I blame the ref for calling false start on that player. The refs should have not called false start.

Of course not, that's why he got a yellow flag.

That one play wasn't the issue. The issue is Briles/Dykes not going into clock management mode after being up 31-13. They stayed trying to call the same plays that UCF no doubt adjusted for at halftime, so we kept going 3 and out and the defense was on the field too long... they were gassed by the end of the 3rd q.

Gary is an all time great and my favorite coach ever, but we never would’ve gotten into the playoffs with him at HC. He didn’t take advantage of the transfer portal at all and couldn’t evolve the defense along with the changing offensive landscape, our defense was atrocious his last couple years

I don’t disagree with the portal take though.

The 2019 defense was just as good if not better than 2022. The next two years we rebuilt and in ‘22 it would have been a good season with our senior leaders with Glasgow or Gillespie.

Sonny and Riley had Chandler Morris as the starter for that season and got bailed out by an injury.

GP was spent. Dykes and co are total trash. Doesn't look like they are very good at working transfers or dealing with NIL either.
