TCU vs. Georgia-- Can David beat Goliath twice in a row?
« on: January 01, 2023, 05:52:57 PM »
Can the toads shock the nation and win the CFP by beating the two undefeated conference champs from the two premier conferences that no measly B12 team could ever hope to compete with?

Tune in Monday to find out!

I mean, I won't be tuning in because I'm always busy on Monday nights.  But y'all should.  If you care about it.

No. But that’s OK.

I need to look back, but this Georgia team might have the least eye-popping running game since I don’t know when.

 I’m guessing it’s on the same level of the Florida State and Oklahoma teams that won around the turn of the century. But I need to pull up the stats to check.

I wonder if TCU will give Georgia some "bulletin board material?"  That seemed to work out positively for them last week.

Yup, one of the TCU players talked about how Michigan hadn't seen any team as fast as the toads, and some Michigan fans got bent out of shape and declared it was foolish to give Michigan any MORE reason to kick the snot out of TCU.

It all seemed to work out just fine for the toads, so I was wondering if something similar might happen this week, with some TCU player daring to say that maybe TCU just might belong on the same field as Georgia.

let's just say, the Frogs had the bigger chip on their shoulder

I blame Harbaugh

So... Michigan didn't want to be there?

they did, AND they got the matchup they wanted

they wanted a weak team they could overpower in the trenches

and then they tried to finesse them, for no good reason

It's why we play the game. TCU has a better chance to beat Georgia on the 9th, than every single other team.

That said, I think Georgia is way better the TTUN, and will cover the spread vs. the frogs.

Well, actually, for good reason.  Michigan just couldn’t bully TCU on the ground like many (myself included) thought they would.  Michigan had 40 rushing attempts for 186 yards (4.7 YPC).  Now, that is pretty good but it’s still well below what Michigan averaged for the season.  Take into account 54 of those yards came on the first play of the game and from there Michigan had 39 attempts for 132 yards (3.4 YPC).

Now, if you mean situationally like the trick play around the goal line then, yeah, I agree.  But that wasn’t exactly 4th and inches either.  It was 4th and 2.

both actually

I think if Michigan would have committed to the run game early and stayed with it, it would have been successful

and obviously the situational trick/gimmick plays
