TCU Beats Baylor - Josh Pate Rapid Reaction (Late Kick Cut)

TCU vs Baylor was one of the headline games in College Football's week 12, and on Late Kick Live Ep 331 Josh Pate spoke about the Horned Frogs pulling off yet another stunning comeback on the road in a position where their College Football Playoff hopes were potentially on the line. Sonny Dykes and his bunch have felt like a team of destiny lately, and Saturday's incredible finish with a walkoff field goal did nothing to change that perception. How far can the Frogs take it this season? Are they the favorites to potentially win the Big 12 title?

TCU practices the "Bazooka Drill" (which is their name for that last second field goal formation) every Thursday. They do it at full speed, and have since the spring. In the drill (which I have seen first-hand in practice numerous times), the kicker does not mark off his steps. In fact, the whole idea is for him to use the rest of the formation to "frame" where he should stand. TCU executed exactly like they practice every week.

[@moncorp1]

Pate obviously doesn't do much research before making these videos.

[@half-hazard8903]

ok that’s pretty cool

[@BrodyxBrown]

That’s what championship teams do! And it shows

[@stephenholbrook4391]

Great point about “branding”. If the conversation were about Oklahoma or Texas we’d be hearing “even with a loss they still have a path to the playoff”. True story- Most of my life was spent in SEC country living in FL, LA, TN and GA. I spent 5 years in Fort Worth (Hulen Mall area) and was welcomed with open arms by the alumni and fans at TCU. Their tailgating compares with any SEC school (and I’ve been to darn near every SEC stadium at one point or another). That school is a special place with kind, welcoming people. I will always cheer for the Frogs! ❤🐸🏈

[@erikochoa-kmoch4397]

TCU is literally the opposite of my Nebraska Cornhuskers. They find a way to win close games every time

[@___m7425]

For real

[@MrJara1018]

And they beat teams that are better and more talented than them too.

[@dominicmendlik]

As both a current TCU student and born-and-bred Cornhuskers fan, this comment accurately describes everything I have been thinking this year. Still doesn't feel real to go to school like this.

[@moncorp1]

TCU's strength of schedule is stronger than both Ohio St. and Michigan's this year. Pedigree pimps think the Big 12 is weak, but it is the Big 10 that is top heavy and weak this year.

[@dirtybambie5018]

Honestly legendary kick.

TCU MOTTO: 'SURVIVE AND ADVANCE' ..

[@arthurfields9575]

TCU and Baylor usually have close hard fought games against each other and it seems to not make if one of them is hard ranked they play each other very hard. That game was very fun to watch especially at the end! May more entertaining than anything put out by Disney and some of the other Entertainment companies lately.

[@keruetz]

Believe it or not, they do actually work on the kicker not taking steps to set themselves. It's pretty amazing. One of those things you practice and don't need but once or twice a year.

[@daniellooney8878]

I am OU fan. TCU is just the least offensive team that the Big8 let in. (Yes, TCU came later not going to Tx politics). All I know is "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD"! Clap....pause.....Clap. I made this post on my accord....please do not kill me.....Grrrg.......:)

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

@@joedhall3424 it's very easy to understand. TCU has skated by for half the year vs teams with mediocre talent. They half-assed way they play is not going to work vs a team with real talent and is well coached on top. What you saw yesterday was a lot of teams overlooking their opponents. Nobody overlooks anybody in the playoffs. You get each team's best. UGA and Ohio St's best would destroy TCU.

[@richardlo4867]

Baylor played like heroes until the last two sets, when they decided they should do everything to protect the ball, by running straight into the defensive line every freaking play. Not even one misdirection. They played not to lose, and got punked.

[@TheExpandedUniverse]

It hurts me to say it, but there's a world where Clemson sneaks into the playoff...

[@ThanosMahomes]

Yep. TCU or USC lose and The Game isn’t close. Clemson will slide in at 4

[@TheExpandedUniverse]

@@ThanosMahomes exactly, the only thing that may hold them back is Michigan and Ohio State this weekend. Depends on how badly one beats the other

[@txsportsfreak02]

So I see a small possibility that Bama can get back into it. Clemson would have to lose a game. South Carolina plays like they did against Tennessee they will beat Clemson.

No offense, I love the TCU story this season, they've been great and entertaining as hell to watch. Sonny Dykes has blown my expectations out of the water. That being said I think the tower of cards comes down in the Big 12 CCG. K-State just looks better right now.

[@mchaseross13]

Not sure I agree with that. Texas beat KSU in Manhattan, and TCU absolutely owned Texas the week after. Can’t just say they look better because KSU destroyed a Baylor team that wasn’t nearly as pumped up as they were for TCU (their main rival). TCU also already went up against Will Howard. We know how that went.

The Blueblood programs most years in the Big 12 Texas and Oklahoma not being good this year hurt TCU badly plus you throw in TCU 's non conference schedule Tarleton State, Colorado and SMU that's what has people questioning is TCU CFP worthy

[@tacticalmattfoley]

It amazes me to think TCU was in Conference USA not long ago.

[@zs4580]

I'll never agree with Josh on a win being a win. Yeah looking s***** might get you dropped in the rankings or something but ultimately the goal of college football is to win and if you won then you accomplished your goal for the day and you did not lose, a win is a win

What if Ohio State loses to Michigan hypothetically and USC beats Notre Dame so Ohio State and USC will have the same record so what does the committee do plus Ohio State beat Notre Dame in week 1

I'm still not impressed by this team and I genuinely hope they don't meet UGA in the playoffs or we'll probably see a repeat of the Michigan game last year.

[@eYeDontCare]

lol would love to see TCU go to the playoffs just to get obliterated by one of the other teams either georgia or ohio state will put the shush on these airheads just like with cinci last year yall get excited over these teams when their in lame conferences hate to say it but in this structure of a 4 team playoff TCU dosnt belong when there will be 12 teams fine but not in this best of luck to you but hate to state the obvious

[@mchaseross13]

Georgia is head and shoulders better than every other team in the country. As for Ohio State, are you sure about that? Ohio State struggled with Maryland. The Big 12 has the second best average team strength in the country. 80% of the conference is already bowl eligible. The worst team in the conference has a better record than 11 other power 5 teams. TCU played Ohio State on a neutral field a few years back (Frogs were terrible that year too) and played extremely tough against the Buckeyes. You can’t play who would beat who. Resume is all that matters, and TCU is deserving based on theirs.

[@grondhero]

Just like Georgia putting up 16 against UK.

[@randyosborn284]

Well. TCU beat Michigan in the playoffs... Then lost to GA like every other team in the league did/would. So, you're full it.

[@darkeyezs]

This tactic won't fare well in the playoffs.

[@joedhall3424]

The playoff is with the same number of players on each team right? And played on a standard size field same as the 11 games they have won. So, what makes you sure that what they have done will not work.

[@darkeyezs]

@@joedhall3424 You can't honestly believe they can rely on last minute walk off scores to win in the playoffs!? Your logic is flawed. How many top 5 teams have they faced? *0* How many top 10 teams have they faced? *0* With your logic simply being undefeated means they can continue the same play to have success in the post season. How'd that work for Cincinnati last year. Can't play from behind all game and expect to win against teams like those currently at the top of the rankings.

[@waltereadie3620]

@@darkeyezs half of the teams in the current top 10 haven't yet faced other teams in the current top 10. That's sort of how the top 10 works this late in the season. TCU did play OKState when they were in top 10. TCU also has the best record against ranked teams in the FBS (5-0, next closest is Tennessee at 5-1)

[@darkeyezs]

@@waltereadie3620 Playing from being and expecting to win isn't sustainable. Especially in the playoffs. It definitely won't work against the 1 or 2 seed. No matter who they are. And certainly won't be OK State who proved themselves to be a pretender. Edit. That doesn't mean I don't think TCU can win it shouldn't be there. I just think that they'll need to make adjustments to win in the playoffs and can't rely on comebacks.

[@huntisit281]

@@darkeyezs I love how upset the Hypnotoads are making casuals. TCU has the best SOS out of the top 5. #1 SOR in the COUNTRY. The B12 is a gauntlet everyone plays each other (unlike SEC). The rankings are always deceiving and it shows in B12 bowl records yearly. TCU likely loses against GA (who doesn’t?) but they absolutely stand a chance against Michigan, OSU, USC, etc. Maybe if they took a page out of Bama’s book and played FCS opponents week 11 there wouldn’t be uproar lol.
