Fiesta Bowl 2022: Michigan, TCU Hope to Avoid Early CFP Exit

The 2022 College Football Playoff semifinal will be between the Michigan Wolverines and the TCU Horned Frogs. The Wolverine team was knocked out of the semifinals last year. TCU had just suffered their second losing season in three years.

Sonny Dykes has had a successful first season as head coach of the TCU Horned Frogs football team. The team won the Big 12 championship game, but they didn't win the conference trophy.

The Michigan Wolverines are in the college football playoff. They beat their rivals Ohio State Buckeyes and Penn State, Iowa, and Illinois. The team won the Big Ten Conference title and the national championship.

Max Duggan's team plays in the Big 12 title game. TCU's offense will be key against the hard-hitting defense.

TCU's defense needs to contain the run game and avoid second and third and short situations. Michigan's quarterback J.J. McCarthy needs first downs with his arm.

Michigan needs to continue their dominance on their front line and lean on the run game to open up the pass plays down the field. Donovan Edwards is an x-factor and the Wolverines need to get him the ball as much as they can.

Michigan and TCU are playing in the Fiesta Bowl 2022. Michigan's defense needs to stop TCU's offense early and eliminate the run game.

The TCU Horned Frogs and Michigan Wolverines are playing in the college football playoff. The Wolverine's last season they were 5-7. They want to go further than last year and make it to the national championship game.
