TCU Football has now lost two consecutive games to SMU for the first time since 1992-93. The ponies came to play today, stunning the Horned Frogs defense for a 42-34 win.
Injuries, depth chart rearrangement, chemistry - there is no excuse for this kind of loss, especially after having an extra week of preparation with last Saturday’s bye week. You can blame Duggan for missing throws, you can blame GP for the atrocious defense, hell you can even blame the officiating if that’s your thing.
Regardless of where you focus your frustrations after today’s loss, the bottom line is TCU lost this ball game because of:
- Atrocious defense
- Non-existent tackling
- Numerous missed throws
- Avoidable penalties
- Communication issues in the secondary
- Questionable play-calling
After an outing like today’s, this list could go on and on, but these were certainly the key downfalls in the Frogs game plan today.
