Georgia vs TCU: College Football Playoff National Championship Second Quarter
14:40 Oh no. TCU OT Andrew Coker is hurt and going to the locker room. The TCU starting 22 is solid, but the O line can’t deal with this Georgia D without the starting five.
13:45 TCU flipped the field. Now it gets a chance to change the narrative with Georgia on its own eight. Get out of this, get the ball back, and …
13:23 Oh dear lord. Stetson Bennett getting time, he’s moving quickly, the offense is moving fast, and two passes to Brock Bowers later, and Georgia is just fine.
12:25 Again, this is a great TCU defense, and it doesn’t have a prayer of keeping up with 19.
11:41 TCU has Georgia 3rd and 10. It can weather this storm with one big stop, and …
11:06 Stetson Vick is too quick. Bennett making the TCU defense look like it’s running in sand as he tears off a first down run.
10:35 Okay, Georgia … NOW take it down just a wee bit. No need to control the clock, but no need to go up tempo.
9:58 TCU is getting zero pressure with this 3-3-5 style. It’s going to have to get funky to get to Bennett, and then it’s in big, big trouble.
9:00 By my rough estimate, the TCU defense has allowed 3,119 yards along with the 63 points over its last 3.5 quarters.
8:58 Oooooooooh … the 3-3-5 defense … oooooooh. Bennett scoots past it all for another touchdown.
Uh oh.
Georgia 24, TCU 7
Enough of the Hollywood story aspect to this just because it’s being played in LA. Hollywood stories suck now with all the super hero cra…. (shakes fist at cloud)
8:26 Again, TCU just run the offense. Don’t go Michigan and try to score three touchdowns with every play. Go on a decent march, take the plays that are there, keep running, and …
7:47 Don’t make mistakes. Holding penalty. 2nd and 15.
7:28 Everyone please check on your THE Ohio State friends and family right now to make sure they’re okay. That Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl was one epic National Championship.
6:19 TCU, what did I JUST say. Don’t try to get it all back in one play. It tries, Duggan just chucks it with no purpose, and it gets picked off.
5:00 Which channel of the ESPN megacast shows Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives reruns?
3:25 Georgia’s offensive line has decided it wants to win the College Football Playoff National Championship.
1:55 Third and long, and … Bowers. No problem. It doesn’t seem fair that TCU is apparently playing defense with nine guys on the field.
1:41 This is my NCAA Tournament line coming true. You show me a first round Central Directional State upset over Superpower U, and I’ll show you an 88-41 second round game.
1:22 At least there’s that Ant Man trailer coming up … my kid won’t allow me to watch it because I haven’t seen the first 39 movies in the series and won’t be able to appreciate it.
1:19 See, Michigan … THAT’S how you run a 1st-and-goal handoff against TCU from the 1.
0:42 Oh great … Georgia gets the ball to start the second half.
0:26 Adonai Mitchell with a BRILLIANT 22-yard touchdown catch. This is just performance art now.
Yeah, Bennett will get all the love and credit in this, but he’s getting enough time to make a panini waiting for his receivers to get open.
Georgia 38, TCU 7
Let this be a lesson to all. Keep dreaming, keep fighting, keep doing things the right way and maybe – just maybe – you, too, can one day be totally crushed by someone with more talent.
