Georgia vs TCU Preview
It’s a bit of a David vs Goliath battle in the national title game when the 3-seed Texas Christian University Horned Frogs take on the 1-seed University of Georgia Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are undefeated so far on the season, going 14-0 on their way to the title game. The Horned Frogs are 13-1, with their only loss coming in overtime against Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game.
Georgia is favored to defend its 2022 championship by 12.5 points, which would be the first back-to-back champ since the college football playoff started in the 2014-2015 season. But that doesn’t mean TCU won’t put up a good fight.
TCU head coach Sonny Dykes, who won Coach of the Year honors in his first season at TCU this year, said in his pre-game press conference that his players have some “extra motivation” to win because of how they have surpassed expectations this year.
“You’ve got to play hard, keep your head down, keep grinding, do the little things right to give yourself a chance to play well every week. We come into this game with a lot of motivation, obviously. It’s been a long season. We’ve exceeded expectations, at least externally, and so anytime you do that there’s always a little bit of extra motivation,” said Dykes, adding, “I think that if you had asked us before the season started, would we play for a national championship, most of us probably didn’t think that we would.”
He continued, “I think the Cinderella label probably started to wear off a little bit after the three-game gauntlet where we had to play three or four on the road, West Virginia, Texas, and Baylor. I think at that point our guys started to believe, okay, we’re a real football team and we’re a battle-hardened team and we’ve had to overcome some adversity. And you know what? We have a chance to make a run.”
Dykes also said he knows that beating Georgia is going to be a tall order.
“Obviously I have tremendous respect for the Southeastern Conference. Tremendous respect for Georgia getting to this point undefeated. I know they’ve played a great schedule. It’s been an outstanding year for those guys. I want to congratulate Coach Smart and their entire program. They’re obviously an outstanding football team. And we look forward to playing them on Monday night … They’re just a team that really doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses. So that’s the thing about them,” said Dykes, adding, “It will be a big challenge for us. But our players have been able to overcome challenges all year. And we’re excited about an opportunity to try to do it again.”
The TCU vs Georgia national title game kicks off Monday, January 9 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
