1. The quarterback carousel went a bit off the rails today. I realize TCU came in with one of the best rush defenses in the league, but overly relying on your thrower when the wind was a mess didn't make sense. Waters struggled with accuracy in the wind much of the day and Sams was effective running, but Snyder kept going back to the Waters well. The 3 Waters' throws from the 5 yard line was probably the most baffling. Down the stretch they seemed to figure it out a bit, and even though it didn't result in TDs, the Waters/Sams combo got in position for the FGs and the win.
2. Defense really struggled once TZ went out, but part of that was due to pressure put on them by the ineffective offense. Still, we're not the same without him. Probably still enough in place to be in position to win our final two games if he can't go, but some changes in the secondary need to be made.
3. TCU should be embarrassed to be 4-7. I know they've had injuries, but they have a huge offensive line, gigantic/athletic receivers, and Pachall looked really good today. Their use of Pachall and Boykin on the field together was very effective. After struggling coming back from the Pachall injury, I believe we got TCU's best shot today and were fortunate to win.
4. Thank goodness for Lockett and Thompson.
