In a resounding victory, the University of Georgia Bulldogs proved once again why they are the top college football team. Georgia annihilated Texas Christian University 65-7 in the national championship game to repeat as champions with a perfect record.

Georgia scored a record-breaking 65 points, which is the highest ever in a (BCS/College Football Playoff) title game.

TCU was a heavy underdog and they couldn’t do anything to stop Georgia. Soon after the opening kickoff, Georgia’s defence stymied TCU’s initial drive and senior quarterback Stetson Bennett scored Georgia’s first points on a 21-yard rushing touchdown. Within three minutes, the Bulldogs had sliced through TCU’s defence and marched down the field.

This was an omen of impending doom.

Midway through the first quarter, Georgia took a 10-0 lead after kicking a 24-yard field goal after forcing a fumble on the Horned Frogs’ next offensive drive.

On the next possession, however, third-ranked TCU scored. The Horned Frogs’ quarterback, Max Duggan, led the team on a 75-yard touchdown drive. Heisman runner-up Duggan scored a touchdown on the ground like Georgia’s quarterback did, bringing the score to 10-7 in favour of the Bulldogs. In the end, those were the only points scored by TCU.

A Bennett touchdown pass of 37 yards immediately put Georgia back in the lead, 17-7. Georgia’s defence halted TCU’s next series, and the Bulldogs drove 92 yards in 10 plays to score on Stetson Bennett’s second rushing touchdown of the game, increasing their lead to 24-7 midway through the second quarter.

Before halftime, the Bulldogs scored again on an interception by Duggan.

At halftime, the Bulldogs had a commanding 38-7 lead after scoring on all six of their offensive drives (the first team to do that in the playoffs). The Bulldogs averaged 9 yards per play on offence in the first half, leading to 354 total yards.

TCU’s strong second-half performance began with a forced punt by Georgia. The Horned Frogs’ offence was unable to move the ball, and the Bulldogs continued where they left off, with Bennett throwing another touchdown pass to make the score 45-7.

There were only eleven minutes left in the third quarter, but the outcome was already decided.

The Bulldogs pulled quarterback Stetson Bennett 95 seconds into the fourth quarter after he had already accounted for six touchdowns (two on the ground and four through the air).

With a perfect record of 14-0, Georgia entered the game as the defending national champions. Georgia, led by Bennett (a former walk-on QB), crushed the strongest conference in college football, the Southeastern Conference. For the most majority of the year, Georgia topped the polls.

Texas About 12,000 students study at Christian, a private institution in Fort Worth, Texas. It was the Big 12 Conference champion and had a perfect 13-0 record heading into the championship game.

TCU was a preseason underdog, with odds of 200-to-1 against them winning the national championship and 7th in the conference. However, the Horned Frogs’ success on the field all season long shocked many viewers. However, in the most crucial game of the season, they were unable to overcome Georgia.

In Division I FBS college football, the Southeastern Conference has been overwhelmingly successful in the postseason. Six of the ten CFP champions since 2014 have come from the Southeastern Conference. In the CFP era, Georgia is the only team to repeat as champion.

There was a noteworthy Bulldog who was not present for the victory. Uga X, Georgia’s renowned mascot, did not accompany the team to the championship game in southern California. The bulldog wears a University of Georgia outfit and chills in an air-conditioned doghouse on the sidelines of home games. The 9-year-old bulldog’s owners told WTOC that the long travel would have been too much for him.

You may rest assured that Uga X will have a good time at the next Athens, Georgia, victory parade.
