Colin Cowherd needs a distraction, predicts TCU beats Colorado by three scores

Not a good week for the FOX Sports host

Colin Cowherd might need a vacation more than anyone right now. In case you missed it, the FOX Sports host put out a list of NFL QBs who cannot win a Super Bowl during his talk show on Tuesday.

It seemed very passive for a lead up to the season, except nobody on Cowherd's staff caught Dwayne Haskins being on that list. The former Ohio State/Steelers star was killed in a car accident last year.

This is awful from FS1, Colin Cowherd and everyone invovled.

Cowherd made a list of "QBs that can’t win a Super Bowl" and including the late Dwayne Haskins on it and then read his name as well and didn't correct himself.

Not a good look for Cowherd who might need actual producers behind him after a second flub on the graphic. The list said, “QBs that can win Super Bowls,” when it should have said, “can’t.”

Cowherd quickly caught the error after saying Haskins's name out loud

“Dwayne Haskins…. guys that are just not…” he said looking confused with a long pause. “It says can win Super Bowls, it’s can’t. Can’t win Super Bowls.”

"I love college football but it has had a great game shortage forever."

Either way, Cowherd needed a distraction from the terrible miss. One day eariler, he put out a bold prediction saying TCU would win big over Colorado in the FOX Big Noon opener on Sept. 2.

It's on par with Vegas odds, but still seems a bit off. Why? Because nobody believes the Buffs can knock off last year's national runner-up.

TCU won't have Max Duggan, Quinten Johnston, or Kendre Miller. None of the Frogs top four receivers return, and neither do any of the top three rushers, including Miller. Sonny Dykes lost over half of his offensive production from 2022. They also lost offensive coordinator Garrett Riley to Clemson.

On the other side of the ball, TCU looks about the same as last year with a few players moving on to the NFL. A great battle will ensue with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and the Frogs secondary, which ranked 13th to end last year.

Colorado heads to Fort Worth to face TCU on Sept. 2. The FBS debut for Deion Sanders, who came over from Jackson State last December.
