TCU is making it a game against Oregon, now down only 31-17 with a quarter to play. WVU and Arizona St kick off at 10:15.

Just when you think Oregon can put one away, Vernon Adams and the center come out, backups go in and then you have what amounts to absolute silence from the Ducks' offense. Meanwhile, TCU is making this into what could be a very interesting fourth quarter indeed.

....and Kohlhausen again makes Oregon's secondary look like it is allergic to pass coverage. Unbelievable.

Not that simple for Oregon. They don't practice doing that, so a fumbled snap would be just as likely if not more so.

I actually thought the last snap was halfway decent. A little low, but Lockie just botched it. If he was oregons QB all year they would have about 4 wins.

So does this second half mean that if both teams had to play their backup QB, tcu would win by 40?

My unscientific estimate: 97.8% of neutral fans are hoping TCU scores on this drive.

At least TCU is making this bowl game slightly interesting.

They should have gone for it last possession though.

I know you're joking.

But my whole point was that I wanted to see a healthy Boykin versus a healthy Adams. You joke doesn't make sense because Boykin never played, thus my excitement for this came was lost the moment he struck that cop.

I swear Lockie and whoever TCU's 2nd stringer is are the worst QBs ever. Put in the 3rd stringer maybe he'll do something like TCU's

Oregon's had backup QB issues dating back at least to the days of Dennis Dixon. He was on his way to the Heisman, and Oregon was on their way to a NC game when his knee went "pop". They promptly fell apart that year. Things haven't changed one bit.

That was actually pretty bad clock management on the last drive by TCU. They should've had another timeout and should've run the ball on 3rd down to get 1st and goal
