other than one 20 yard run-TCU held Aldridge to 2 yards on about 14 carries. TCU always looks great defensively until they get into a prevent type situation. But they are salty defensively at DLine and LB.
TCU had the better team but Houston showed what happens when you do not have a Head Coach, Offensive Line Coach, and Offensive Coordinator for 30 days before kickoff. The TCU defense was running schemes for which the Houston OL was not prepared. Couple that with athletes and you have a QB that can not get off a pass.
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Okay, I will probably ruffle the feathers of a few Cowboy fans here, but Brad Sham should not do college football games. In this game, he declared the 49 yard field goal good before it got close to the goal post and was obviously trailing right. He also declared a first down on Houston's last drive when the receiver was clearly out of bounds. Those are just 2 examples from this game.
However, if you listened to him on a couple of the SMU games this year, he also was not very polished. I realize the school doesn't have household names like at other universities, but it's your job to get the names right AND to call the action correctly.
For what its worth the game had a paid attendance of over 62,000 apparently a record for the Texas Bowl. That bodes well for CUSA maintaining that relationship.

I'm impressed. It's the second highest attendance for a bowl game thus far, only behind Texas vs. Arizona State.
