As the confetti fell and the postgame celebration got underway, fans of the Michigan Wolverines were left in utter disbelief. The previously undefeated Wolverines had just fallen 51-45 to the TCU Horned Frogs and had lost in the opening round of the College Football Playoffs for the second consecutive year.
What the hell happened? Michigan entered as 7.5-point favorites but was overwhelmed by a scrappy underdog quarterback and an agile 3-3-5 defense. The blame game immediately got underway online.
“JJ’s pick-sixes cost us the game!”
“If only DJ Turner could tackle…”
