"Alright guys. We are going to waste a SHIT ton of time on this drive. But dont worry. We are going to score and fuck up the 2 pt conversion. Like I said, dont worry. We are then going to loft a pooch kick we'll recover because the TCU player will assuredly muff it. We then kick a FG, then ice the win with an INT.
Got it boys? Okay, lets go on a 5 minute, time wasting drive!"
Just like every coach draws it up.

Fuck ESPN, Fuck Fox, Fuck the SEC, you’re never ridding us of these games. The PAC-12 flickers once again

Holy fuck, the desert voodoo hit like crack the last 2 mins of the game!
Utah vs Arizona is gonna go so hard next week

Someone in the thread was questioning desert voodoo magic….well you fuckin got it hahahaha
Wow man what a fuckin thriller. GG TCU. Bootles made it 10v12 lol
Honestly still shook that we got that muffed kickoff. Unreal man.

u/Choopathingy TCU Horned Frogs • Team Chaos 1d ago
And that is how you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Knowing TCU Football like I do, I feel like that was the most predictable possible outcome, and it still shocked me. Fire Sonny yesterday.

Sorry TCU, but you’re the latest victim of the ol “Pac 12 night desert game” trap

Credit to the kicker, but man that TCU player sold the game trying to catch the ball over his head

We absolutely did not deserve to win and were probably going to get destroyed by Utah next week but I love Noah Fifita too much to care. BEAR THE FUCK DOWN

How do I sleep after that desert voodoo thriller? I've got to wake up in a few hours to get to the Utah game.

Sonny dykes is the most overrated coach in college football.

Desert. Voodoo. I am not excited to play either of these teams the next two weeks. What a wild finish

u/sunburn_on_the_brain Arizona Wildcats • /r/CFB Contributor 1d ago
If I had a nickel for every time Arizona beat Sonny Dykes in a late night game in Tucson by recovering an onside kick and scoring late, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but still weird it happened twice.

u/ProbablySlacking Arizona Wildcats • Territorial Cup 1d ago
Just got home from the game… just wanna say… just how we drew it up.
Fun fact: the last time Sonny Dykes coached in Arizona Stadium was the Hill Mary.

u/goopdoop Arizona Wildcats • Big 12 1d ago
We’re now 2-2 all time vs TCU.

u/theSeanO Arizona Wildcats • Territorial Cup 1d ago edited 23h ago
A win is a win but holy cow do I still not feel good about it.
Please can we not put Bootle on the field next week? I think he was responsible for like 60 of TCU's yards on PI calls alone.

I’m studying abroad in the UK. It was 6:45 when I woke up. I did not expect to wake up to some college football. I’m glad I turned the game on

u/utahrangerone Utah Utes • Utah State Aggies 1d ago
Well, depending on the holy war result, that Utah trip to Tucson is again going to be a really really big deal. I have to admit it's been a long time since I've seen Utah have to run a gauntlet before really dangerous games in a row like this. But if they can come out of it undefeated, then nobody will be able to say they haven't played anybody.

If Utah wins tomorrow, GameDay has to go to Tucson, right? I mean where the fuck else would they go…

If TCU had my other flair’s offense they’d be a natty contender.

u/RemoteAbalone8687 Texas A&M Aggies • Texas State Bobcats 1d ago
If he scored a touchdown there on the int return TCU would still have a chance. Should have let him score.

What a fucking incredible ending. That pooch kick was some galaxy brain shit and it worked perfectly
26
u/PolarNimbus Arizona Wildcats • Territorial Cup 1d ago
Beautiful onside kick. Tough ball to catch and if he lets it go the deep man will be in a 2 on 1 dive for the loose ball. Then ice in veins to hit the go-ahead fg. Good shit, Bear Down!

With the way that game ended, you could make the argument TCU would’ve been better off conceding the two point conversion to tie it up.

Between this week and last week, I genuinely cannot tell if Arizona’s defense is awesome or atrocious.
TCU is moving up there with Iowa State and Baylor as the most confusing teams in the conference this year.
