UGA vs TCU Game Notes

Didn't realize Pat McAfee was a member of Pentatonix (I got a new follower after that tweet). Of course Desmond and Coach picked TCU. Does 71 year-old Nick Saban color his hair?

Washington and McConkey are back. Also Nolan Smith's replacement. Stetson wearing two high black socks. Against OSU he had one high one low. TCU QB going with one high one low. The 2023 patch looks like it's coming off the UGA jerseys.

Were the 17 first quarter points the Dawgs scored the most in the first quarter all year?

Dawgs won't win the national championship next season. They're losing their quarterback. Stetson with the fuzz on his face in the Tebow interview. First team to score on their first four possessions.

Vince Young the last QB with two rushing TD's in a championship game. Which QB will rush for the most yards? Like last season Stetson didn't run all that much this year, but appears to be letting loose tonight.

UGA interception was almost like a punt for TCU. They should've given the Dawgs forward progress.

The ACC referee sounds like Bill Clinton. Already 129 yards rushing for UGA. A second INT (the third turnover) and another Bennett TD pass makes it 38-7 at the half. 

Dawgs scored on every first half possession. 354 yards to 121 for TCU. Horn Frogs only TD came after a missed UGA pass defense assignment.

No way UGA (nor TCU) can repeat that first half performance. Expect the Dawgs to start grinding the ball on the ground. TCU won't turn it over three more times. Only one team in 541 has come back from such a deficit: TCU.

After the teams swap punts, Bowers with the long gainer and TD catch. If Stetson isn't careful Brock will challenge him for game MVP. 

Just think how much better UGA will be next year without Stetson at QB. 45-7. I'm sure Kirby and Monken want 50. And they get it before the third quarter ends. 42 straight points. 52-7.

Stetson ties Joe Burrow with the six touchdowns. Gets his curtain call with 13:25 remaining. Unbelievable.

Now maybe we'll finally see some good quarterback play. Carson Beck promptly completes a pass, converts two first downs, and completes the TD drive. 59-7. 

More curtain calls, this time for the defense. The backups push TCU back, and holds on fourth down. And the Dawgs score on first down. Hot Pod misses a PAT for the first time ever. 65-7 with 7:23 remaining.

Dawgs force a punt, and Beck runs out the clock. Bennett wins his 4th game MVP in his fourth CFP game, plus MVP in this year's SEC Championship Game. only the 4th QB to lead his team to back to back national championships. 

UGA is the first team since Bama won back to back in 2011-2012.
