TCU's defense carried them this year and they lose at least 7 of their top 10 tacklers off that defense from this year. 

I'm guessing S&P projects them at about 6 or 7 wins next year. They should be hitting the grad transfer market hard because they need a completely different OL and probably a QB. I can't see them rolling into next year relying on Rogers.

So why didn’t the 70% guy try the first kick when the other guy was 50%? The second guy was spot on. And why did they not kick when they were in range throughout the game? I just don’t get it.

Also take into account that TCU got absolutely buried by injuries this year, though.

That was the most fun I've had watching a football game since Dicker hit his kick in the Cotton Bowl. I was pulling for Cal and that was still an utter joy.

The game was the top trending topic on US twitter for a few minutes. People will remember this game for a while because of how amazingly shitacular/weird it was. The other boring no-name bowl games that were competently played will be forgotten in a month.

There were some money quotes on ESPN radio. Badly paraphrased from memory:

"With that completion for -2 yards, his passer rating improved by six points."

"In 1900, football made the forward pass legal. Tonight, they're trying to de-legalize it."

Tevin Paul for Cal (starting DE I think) lived across the street from me (family still does).  I watched him through the game and he played well.  Son says he's going to get drafted (he's a junior now).  

That's really all I got from that turd of a game.

This misses so much too.  Doesn't even mention all the stupid shit the terrible announcers said, most multiple times. My favorite part was on the OT interception when the guy is so excited the the guy got "all the way to the 11" and I'm pretty sure made a comment that implied they would start the next drive from there.

Turned it off at the half, was this worst than the Sun Bowl that ended like 3-0?

This was more fun because so much weird shit and incompetence happened. The announcers were having a blast.

Reading about this game reminds me of that SBNation article by Jon Bois where he replaces all the draft classes in NBAY2k with horrible basketball players then watches the league implode.

 

One of the Finals games is ‘won’ 3-0 and takes 12 OT to decide.

Bizarre play to start the game was an omen of the bizarre game to come.  beautiful kickoff by tcu comes to a dead stop around the 6. but the cal player touches it from out of bounds so they get it at the 35.  wtf?  should have been half the distance the other way, not a penalty in their favor.  what a messed up rule.

Fuck TCU. Several years ago Baylor started a running back at QB and still beat the crap out of Carolina and set a bowl rushing record.

That move is so underutilized at every level of fball. Just like recovering a fumble if any part of your body is out of bounds and you touch the ball it's dead.

Ty Montgomery did it in on a kickoff in a game for Green Bay a while back I think. Only dude I’ve seen smart enough to do that on purpose.

I'm not a Patterson fan by any stretch, but I was fully expecting them to handle Cal with no issues.  I thought with some bowl prep time the TCU staff would cobble something together offensively.   For a guy who supposedly does a lot of negative recruiting, that game left his ass hanging out there for returning the favor.

I saw the 4th qtr.  In it, TCU's QB managed to miss the best player on the field (Reagor) wide open in the flat at leadt 5 times.  Never thought I'd see a QB worse than what Kentucky trotted out on the field this year.
