Every time Michigan made a run in the second half, TCU responded and was able to hold on for the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl win.
Michigan didn't want this to end like last year when it trailed by more than two touchdowns in the first half before losing badly to Georgia in the national college football semifinals in Miami.
It's been a remarkable journey with so many thrillers along the way, but this was the by far the biggest for the Horned Frogs , a 5-7 program a year ago that turned it around under first-year coach Sonny Dykes after being picked to finish seven in preseason in the Big 12 Conference.Their heart. Their grit. Their resiliency. Their ability to repond to every big Michigan blow, especially during a crazy third quarter in which the teams combined to score 44 points.
He threw a 34-yard TD pass to Ronnie Bell for Michigan's first touchdown midway through the third quarter. He peeled off a 39-yard run, before running 20 yards for a score. TCU responds again. But there is McCarthy finding Bell for 44 yards to the 1, before Kalel Mullings scores. McCarthy's two-point run made it 41-30 with three seconds left in the third quarter.
Then after completing four straight passes, Duggan and runs of 3, 1 and 1, the last of which he bulled over a defender into the end zone, and the Horned Frogs were up 14-0 with less than three minutes to play in the opening quarter.Amazing turn of events
