I agree that it's hard to blame the offense when they are in a position to win and nearly do.  What irked me was the repeated Love runs up the middle on first down and then, a telegraphed second down pass.  Despite TCU dominating the second half, a win could have been achieved by opening up the playbook IMHO.

Letting Costello do a few read options would have kept the defense honest - I recall one of the commentators saying much the same thing.
