Watch: Man in suit costs TCU in overtime with interference

TCU suit sideline

TCU may have won the Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday night, but some guy in a suit made it a lot harder on them.

During the first overtime period, Jawuan Johnson intercepted a Cal Golden Bears pass and returned in 84 yards for a near score to seal the game. But someone wearing a suit on the TCU sideline fell over into the field and cost the Horned Frogs on the return.

When TCU got the ball, they started at the 40 instead of the 25-yard-line because they had been penalized 15 yards for a personal foul. They still managed to drive to the Cal 10 and won the game on a 27-yard field goal to make the final score 10-7.

That was a fitting conclusion to the sloppy game that included interceptions on four straight possessions. The teams combined for 9 interceptions, including three made by Jaylinn Hawkins.
