Paul Finebaum gives brutal assessment of TCU following loss to Colorado
Colorado announced itself to the college football world by going into Fort Worth and beating TCU a year after they played for a national championship. After the game, college football analyst Paul Finebaum was left with major concerns about TCU moving forward.
During an appearance on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, Finebaum pointed out how much it has helped Colorado to have talented players, but also thinks that Colorado was lucky to be going against a TCU team that he thinks has issues.
“It’s amazing what talented players will do for you, Greg,” Paul Finebaum said. “I was about to say only two, he’s got two that we are talking about today, everybody in the country, but he’s got a lot more than that. I think they were fortunate, they were up against a paper tiger.”

For Finebaum, TCU is that paper tiger, or it looks like a threat but isn’t really.
“I don’t know where you go if you’re TCU right now and your last two national championship appearances you got your nose broken and your teeth knocked out. Then you were just laid on the railroad track to die, essentially, because that program which has worked so hard has been shattered and embarrassed, and humiliated, and nobody wants to see them, hear them, or have anything to do with them again.”
TCU had a magical 2022 season, making a run to the national championship. However, that season ended at the hands of Georgia in a massive blowout. The game against Colorado represented a chance to get things rolling again for the Horned Frogs, but after stumbling it’s just going to be another missed opportunity.
The Horned Frogs will look to bounce back against Nicholls State.
Deion Sanders says he knew Colorado would beat TCU in Boulder
Deion Sanders has never lacked confidence in himself. That much is obvious. It also seems to rub off on his team because, as Sanders recently explained, the team knew it would beat TCU before it even got on the plane to Fort Worth.
“Skip, before we left Boulder, we knew we were going to win,” Sanders said. “We prepare for this stuff. This is not just a figment of my imagination. This is something that we prepare for and we think about and we work towards, situational football that we practiced, nobody said nothing about the conditioning. We were conditioned. We were drinking water, Gatorade over the last two weeks left and right. We were prepared for this.”
