No 1 Georgia demolished No 3 TCU 65-7 Monday night to become the first team to win consecutive College Football Playoff national championships
The Bulldogs became the first repeat champs since Alabama went back-to-back a decade ago and left no doubt that they have replaced the Crimson Tide as the new bullies on the block.
No team has ever scored more points in a national championship game, dating to the beginning of the BCS in 1998. The Bulldogs were a different kind of dominant this season: not quite as stingy on defense, but more explosive on offense. Versatile tight end Brock Bowers had seven catches for 152 yards. Receiver Ladd McConkey caught two TDs. Georgia ran for 254 yards with seven players gaining at least 10.
It looked a lot like the Bennett-to-Mitchell touchdown that gave Georgia a fourth-quarter lead it would not relinquish against Alabama in last year’s CFP title game.There was no such drama against the upstart Horned Frogs. Georgia’s famous bulldog mascot UGA could not make cross-country trip to root in his team, but it still felt a little like Sanford Stadium in SoCal.
