Georgia, TCU expect tough challenge in CFP championship game

Georgia and TCU are playing in the College Football Playoff championship game on Monday at SoFi Stadium. Georgia is considered the favorite, having won 16 straight games. TCU was predicted to finish in bottom half of the Big 12, by college football pundits, before winning 12 straight and reaching the conference championship. The game will be just the fifth time the two teams have played each other. It will also be the first time since the 2016 Liberty Bowl that Georgia beat TCU.

Georgia's co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp views TCU as an experienced and balanced offense. The Horned Frogs' quarterback Max Duggan will have to use his skill set as a scrambling quarterback to create explosive plays and take advantage of red zone opportunities. Georgia's secondary is coming off a lackluster effort against Ohio State. Texas Tech's running back Kendre Miller is questionable for the title game after suffering an injury against Michigan.

Georgia and TCU are playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Georgia's quarterback Stetson Bennett is going to play his sixth year of college football. TCU's defensive coordinator is trying to scheme up a defense that can be predictable. The Horned Frogs had two interceptions returned for touchdowns this season. Georgia has a stable of running backs behind Bennett, including Kenny McIntosh and Daijun Edwards. Sophomore tight end Brock Bowers is the 2022 John Mackey Award winner.
