Max Duggan was visibly emotional after losing in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Duggan’s TCU Horned Frogs fell in overtime to the Kansas Wildcats, 31-28. The 1st loss of the season for the Horned Frogs has their College Football Playoff future up in the air.
After the game, Duggan spoke with the media about the devastating loss:
“If we got in (the CFP), we’d give a heck of a fight. I don’t know. I wanted that one really bad,” said Duggan. “There’s nothing I wanted more than to get this school a championship.”
Max Duggan entered the room with red eyes and sniffles. Fighting back tears.

Duggan had an exceptional game, throwing for 251 yards and 1 passing TD. Duggan’s most impactful contribution came on the ground, rushing for 110 yards and 1 TD.
Despite the loss, Duggan made a late push in the Heisman race while pulling TCU even late in regulation.
The Horned Frogs still have a chance to make the Playoff. With USC losing Friday night, it is assumed the last 2 spots will be Ohio State and either TCU or Alabama.
