Georgia vs TCU Preview
TCU looks to end an 85-year national title drought when facing the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs on Monday in Los Angeles.
The Horned Frogs last won it all in 1938 as an unbeaten squad. Since, TCU has mostly floundered between average and below average until a turnaround in the 2000s with 12 seasons of 10 wins or more. The Horned Frogs didn’t have any more 10-win seasons between 1939 and 1999.
Despite the improvements in the 2000s, the Horned Frogs hit a rough patch again between 2018 and 2021 with seven or fewer wins each season. TCU didn’t enter this season ranked, but the Horned Frogs put together the program’s best year in 85 years.
TCU moved up the polls en route to an 11-0 record, and an overtime loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference title game couldn’t keep the Horned Frogs out of the College Football Playoff. The Horned Frogs then showed the nation that they belong with a 51-45 win over once-unbeaten Michigan on December 31.
Horned Frogs quarterback Max Duggan and the offense scored at will against the Wolverines. He threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for 57 yards and two scores. TCU running back gashed the Wolverines for 150 yards and a touchdown.
Now, the Horned Frogs get their toughest test of the season in Georgia. The Bulldogs boast an ever tougher defense than the Wolverines.
Georgia ranks higher in points allowed, 14.79, and yards than Michigan. The Bulldogs allow more yards per game, 304.6, than Michigan, but the Bulldogs also play in the SEC, which featured three other teams in the top 15 nationally for total offense.
“They do a lot defensively that’s special,” Duggan said via Dawg Nation. “They are well-coached and talented, and they do a lot with coverages, with their backers and with their pressures up front.”
Few teams tested Georgia this season, but Ohio State did just that in the College Football Playoff semifinals on December 31. The Bulldogs needed a touchdown in the final minute to edge the Buckeyes, 42-41.
“Who knows what the reason was, but it does have to be fixed,” Bennett said via ESPN. “We’re trying to be perfect. And we’re trying to do everything that we can to make every play perfect. And when it’s not — win or lose — we’re not happy with it.”
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett shined with 398 yards and three touchdowns. He benefited from a big receiving day by wide receiver Arian Smith, who had three catches for 129 yards and a touchdown.
Bennett now seeks a storybook ending to a college career that began as a walk-on at Georgia and a stint in junior college before he emerged as the Bulldogs’ leader.
