How does TCU’s big-play offense match up with Michigan’s defense … and vice-versa? RJ_Writes breaks down the Fiesta Bowl
is a team that was just happy to be here last season and will use that experience to have a better showing this year. That conveniently overlooks how and who they got walloped by: a generational Georgia defense. The Horned Frogs are not as fearsome as those Dawgs, but with a penchant for the dramatic all season,
“If you ask me what this football team needs to improve, I would say it needs to improve our short-yardage situation,” Dykes said after the loss. “This year we haven’t been as good as we want to be. It’s been something that we’ve been working on all year, and I think it’s something that obviously needs to continue to get a lot of our attention.”
The 4-2-5 defense was pioneered by longtime head coach Gary Patterson, and after he resigned, TCU went through some fairly wholesale changes on that side of the ball under Dykes’s new regime. Defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie has installed a defense that often features three deep safeties and three down linemen, a front he installed at Tulsa before coming to Fort Worth.
Styles make fights, and this one shapes up to be a fascinating one because of what these teams typically play against.
