TCU salvaged a disappointing season with a 10-7 overtime win over California in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl.
Sewo Olonilua rushed for 194 yards and a touchdown to lead the Horned Frogs to victory in a wild matchup Wednesday. The teams combined for nine interceptions and 15 punts, but Jonathan Song helped secure the win with a 27-yard field goal in the first overtime.
Those watching along were certainly enjoying the wildness throughout:
I’m telling you now, I don’t care what happens the rest of the year, this game will be at No. 1 in my post-bowl rankings.

I want to stop watching this game, but I can't. It's the Cheez-It of bowl games.

Congrats to TCU and Cal both for the most delightful game of the season. We salute you.
