We did not lose the game because of TCUs speed.  One play, the open receiver in the end zone, would have completely changed the game.  Having said that, TCU was better prepared and more highly motivated.  Our offense was highly predictable and our defense was often disorganized (possibly due to loss of Reed).  We rarely if ever rushed more than 3 or 4 and never really pressured their QB. Costello, who seemed to be on a nice learning curve for the last few games, reverted back to his early self.  I think Phillips will be downgraded in the draft because he was outplayed by the TCU center and I think Love will lose ground because of seeming to be injury prone.
