The shocking thing to me is why Helf didn't just pound Freeman in the second half. Letting Lockie throw on first downs just kept digging them a bigger and bigger hole.

Still up 31 at half, you have to pretty much fail to execute in all phases of the game to go to OT and lose.
The shocking thing to me is why Helf didn't just pound Freeman in the second half. Letting Lockie throw on first downs just kept digging them a bigger and bigger hole. They only had 5 2nd half possessions.They ran Freeman 3 out of their 4 normal drives. The final one was a "must pass situation".More quizzical was Helfrich repeating the stupidity of throwing on their 4th drive like he did against UW. The two incompletions were the difference between TCU using timeouts and the FG being potentially difficult.

The two incompletions were the difference between TCU using timeouts and the FG being potentially difficult. They had the ball late, up 3, starting deep in their own territory. Get a first down (maybe two), bleed clock out, and you win. This situation was made for a big back, and yet...
