Michigan or TCU? Fiesta Bowl should be an interesting clash of styles.
Michigan is going to try and hammer away at a TCU defense that hasn’t matched up against this sort of physical opponent. But the same might be true in reverse: Michigan hasn’t met a team with the Horned Frogs’ offense and never-say-die mindset. The Wolverines have the edge in talent and experience but TCU has repeatedly bucked expectations in winning close game after close game to reach the playoff. All the Frogs may need is one lucky break.
But like Ohio State faltering late, look for Michigan to give up some points early before locking down TCU and eventually cruising to an easy victory.There’s one statistical area in which TCU stands out from the other three playoff teams – and not in a good way. Both Georgia and Michigan feature top-five defenses, and Ohio State ranks in the top 15 in yards and points allowed. The Horned Frogs are 74th in the Bowl Subdivision in yards allowed and 56th in scoring defense.
