Michigan, which was highly favored to win, has now lost five of its last five bowl games under Coach Jim Harbaugh.

David Cone (ex-quarterback for the Wolverines) tweeted after the game, claiming that Ann Arbor’s team underestimated their opponent.

“Michigan looked past @TCU and paid the price. Congrats to the Horned Frogs for their 0-0 mentality,” He tweeted.

Given the high-scoring nature of the game, it will go down in history as one the most bizarre games ever played. Michigan was within striking distance of losing the game by double digits but couldn’t win.

TCU’s quarterback Max Duggan made the right plays at key moments. The Horned Frog’s highflying offense scored the most points on Michigan out of any team this season.
