The problem was not the offense

they scored way more points needed to win

TCU did a good job of stymying the Longhorn running game and that was against the best running back in college football.  Michigan has a better o-line than Texas but the RBs they had available for the game aren't anywhere close.

So, I'm not sure I agree with you.

Donovan Edwards is more talented than Corum or Bijan, he’ll run faster at the combine than either and he’ll be a higher draft pick than either. 

NFL draft guys were saying on Twitter that Edwards would be the first back taken in this draft if he was eligible. 

Michigan ran for 232 sack adjusted yards at 6.7 ypc. Edwards ran for over 120 with a cast on his broken right hand. 

Michigan’s run game want the problem. Their play calling and pass pro and inability to get out of bad run plays and audible on 1st and 2nd down away from run blitzes or pick up blitzes on passing downs was the problem.  

I hate the word "can" in these questions.  Writers use it for clickbait in their headings.
When you use "can," the answer is always "yes."
.
The real question is "will" they.  

Just like vs UM

I typically like UGA okay but I find myself rooting against them this post-season.  I'd rather see some new blood win it than the Dawgs go back to back. 

Biggest surprise of that game to me is how helpless OSU's O-line was against UGA's front once some adjustments were made.  I was surprised Stroud couldn't find his hot reads better than that as well, but that's not exactly uncommon when your line is swiss cheese. 

All that said, they still had a chance to win it with a walk-off FG.  I feel bad for kickers in that situation.  50 yarders are no gimme, but very doable for a good college kicker.  I don't know what happened there, but I'm sure he can do better than that, even if he had a "regular" miss. 

UGA isn't the same offense if Washington can't be on the field at the same time as Bowers.  I don't know his status for the NC game, but I've argued that the two TEs are the key to what makes Georgia unstoppable and you need either an elite performance from your D-line or for Bennett to have a bad day.  He didn't have a great day against OSU but they still managed to rack up points.  Duggan also had a bad day.  I don't look for either of them to slump like that twice in a row. 

The trenches are the most important thing here....that favors UGA near as I can tell.  But I didn't think TCU could handle Michigan in the trenches either and that was obviously not the case, regardless of UM's baffling play-calling.

When Harrison was knocked out of the game, tOSU's offense's wheels fell off. They were doing a pretty good job of moving the ball with Harrison, but not so much when he was no longer an option.

As for the 50 yd FG attempt, about the only thing I can fault the tOSU coaching staff for, was the play calling for the final 3 plays prior to the FG attempt. It is almost like they were just trying to run out the clock and settle for a 50 yd FG, instead of trying to pick up another 5-10 yds. 5 more yards would have made a huge difference in that attempt as he would not have had to dig in and try to drive the ball as it appeared he tried to do.

But it is what it is.  Good luck to both teams, but I will be rooting for TCU.

I’m not sure why you think that.  Not gaining any yardage doesn’t mean they weren’t trying to gain yardage.  They called a run play that was stuffed and then two incomplete passes.  What about those calls made you think they were content to settle for a 50 yard FG?
