Miles: The lack of effort and intensity defensively. Scoring 42 and losing sucks.
Russ: The defensive effort and execution was horrendous, but the game plan seemed out of touch as well. TCU gave Colorado all of the short yards, but failed to make open-field tackles and generate any pressure on the quarterback. The coverage downfield was also horrendous and the Horned Frogs generated only one turnover on the defensive side. Penalties were also a big problem, with TCU committing 10 for 76 yards. There were an uncharacteristically large amount of self-inflicted wounds by this TCU team on Saturday.
