TCU knocks off Michigan to advance to national title game

Michigan tight end Luke Schoonmaker is hit by TCU safety Millard Bradford during the first half of the Fiesta Bowl NCAA college football semifinal playoff game, Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022, in Glendale, Ariz. GLENDALE, Ariz. — TCU, already an oasis for college football in Texas when it comes to the College Football Playoff, this time around worked its magic in the desert in making state and Big 12 history.

Oklahoma had made the CFP, which started with the 2014 regular season, on four prior occasions but failed to advance to a title game. Now TCU will face either No. 1 Georgia or No. 4 Ohio State, which played later Saturday night, for the Horned Frogs’ first national title since 1938. “We’re going to celebrate this one, but we have a bigger one coming up,” Duggan told ESPN afterward. “And that’s the one we want.”

TCU won its lone Associated Press national title in 1938, and now earns a shot at another. Horned Frogs quarterback Davey O’Brien won the Heisman Trophy in 1938, and Duggan was Heisman runner-up this season to Southern Cal quarterback Caleb Williams.
