Not a Michigan fan, and was rooting for TCU, but that was 100% targeting.  
 

Refs just didn’t want to call it in that moment. 

I don’t understand why that TCU defender would even consider that sort of hit there. Just bizarre.

Probably the worst officiated big college game Ive ever seen. Michigan got jobbed on that last call and throughout the game. That was text book targeting by TCU and the officials were too scared to call it.  One question on the TCU 3rd down play  (on their last offensive series) where the receiver caught the slant but missed on getting the first down. If you watch the replay he falls towards the sideline and his hand touches 2 feet into the sideline before the he is down. Doesnt that mean the clock should stop?and he is out of bounds?  and that would mean that Harbaugh doesnt have to take his last TO. Did the officals miss this or is the college rule different from the NFL where this would be out of bounds.

No. His forward progress stopped.

it was sort of close, but usually they run the clock if the ball carrier is hit backwards and goes out of bounds. I bet a lot of refs on that particular play though would have ruled him out or

Bounds and stopped the clock.
