TCU football got off to a brutal start in Week Zero, falling to North Carolina in Dublin, and Bigger Than 12 is breaking down everything that went wrong. Jake Brend and Derek Duke examine TCU's lack of discipline, costly penalties, offensive struggles, and the disappointing debut of quarterback Jaden Craig.
The guys debate how much blame belongs on Craig, the offensive line, and TCU's receivers, while also giving credit to a TCU defense that held North Carolina to just 15 points and under 100 rushing yards. They also discuss whether this loss says something bigger about Sonny Dykes, who is now facing increased pressure after failing to consistently get the Horned Frogs back to the level they reached during their College Football Playoff run.
Plus, Jake and Derek revisit the growing "Ireland curse" and argue whether Big 12 teams should continue playing Week Zero games in Dublin. They also look ahead to the rest of the opening weekend, including Baylor vs. Auburn, Cincinnati vs. Boston College, and Colorado vs. Georgia Tech, before making their picks and discussing the Big 12's early-season outlook. Drafting Big 12 QBs and more.
