Stetson Bennett threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores in the first half as No 1 Georgia demolished No 3 TCU 65-7 Monday night to become the ...

A four-year starter who never played in a bowl before this season, Duggan led TCU on one of the most improbable runs in college football history. This year the Bulldogs never had to worry about Alabama. Bennett’s 22-yard score to Adonai Mitchell was a higher degree of difficulty, dropped in over a defender who had tight coverage. TCU (13-2), the first Cinderella team of the playoff era, never had a chance against the Georgia juggernaut. Twice Bennett ran it in himself; the former walk-on turned two-time national champion was barely touched on the two quarterback keepers. Smart is now 81-15 in his first seven seasons at Georgia with two national titles.

'Georgia chose violence': Fairytale crushed as college football title game the biggest blowout EVER.

And with Texas and Oklahoma soon leaving - to join the Bulldogs in the SEC - they can aspire to be a yearly fixture in the soon-to-be 12-team playoff. But they were no match for the Bulldogs, the cream of the crop in the Southeastern Conference and a team loaded with five-star recruits almost everywhere. It was the biggest blowout of a team ranked in the top three of the Associated Press poll in college football history, and the largest margin of victory in any bowl game ever.

Before the season began, TCU was picked to finish 7th in the conference and was a 200-to-1 longshot to win the national championship. The bulldog is a common fixture at Georgia games wearing a UGA uniform and hanging out in an air-conditioned doghouse on the sidelines. Led by Bennett (a former walk-on QB), Georgia overwhelmed the Southeastern Conference - the best conference in college football. It came in to the title game with a 13-1 record and the Big 12 Conference champions. Georgia simply dominated to lead 38-7 at the break, scoring on all six of its possessions (the first team to do that in the playoffs). TCU started the second half on a positive note - forcing a Georgia punt. Georgia responded right away - with a 37-yard Bennett touchdown pass to extend the lead to 17-7. Before Georgia, no team had repeated as national champion in the CFP era. Like the Georgia QB, Duggan, the With an unrelenting and dominant performance in the national championship game, Georgia swamped Texas Christian University 65-7 to finish undefeated and repeat as national champions. It would be TCU's only points of the game. The Bulldogs marched down the field in less than three minutes slicing through TCU's defense.

Prior to the contest, Kelsea Ballerini and Tiera Kennedy will perform in the Allstate Championship Tailgate. Rihanna will be taking center stage in just over a month for the Super Bowl 57 halftime show. It is often a major reason why some people tune in to the game and is considered one of the heights of musical performance.

And as recruits flock to the Bulldogs, they can thank quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, whose first stint with the team came as a walk-on.

Bullard, a sophomore, had two interceptions and a fumble recovery and the Bulldogs held the star receiver Quentin Johnston to a single catch for 3 yards. And yet they were tested only twice: rallying from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to win at Missouri and coming back from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit in the semifinal victory against Ohio State, which they survived on the missed field goal. Georgia held the Horned Frogs, who entered averaging 474.1 yards per game, to a season-low 188. A year later, Justin Fields, the top quarterback prospect in the country, showed up and those fealties to the school he grew up rooting for didn’t mean much. And each spring, many of those former prospects — after years spent in a football finishing school — trickle out to the N.F.L. Bennett was also dangerous running the ball. The offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who arrived just as the coronavirus pandemic hit, was trying to parse through a crowded quarterbacks room, attempting to find reps for Jamie Newman, a transfer from Wake Forest, J.T. Daniels won the job in 2020 and got hurt in last year’s season opener against Clemson. Each recruiting cycle, the top high school football prospects in the country, from California to Pennsylvania and all across the south, funnel into Athens, Ga. And with the way the Bulldogs continued to parade into the end zone and tee off on Max Duggan, the T.C.U. Their back-to-back titles are the first since Alabama a decade ago. The coin flip?

The ESPN cameras caught up with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart before the game, and he mentioned his team wanted to "hunt" tonight. Frogs were the prey.

He wore the golden "Savage" shoulder pads on the sideline with pride following one of the turnovers, and he deserved to. He took first-year coach Sonny Dykes' program, put it on his shoulders and changed the trajectory of everything that's going on in Fort Worth. To go back-to-back on Monday night, he wasn't just a game manager; he was the game-changer in a 65-7 demolition. With star running back Kendre Miller watching in street clothes on the sideline and UGA building a massive lead, the offense stalled. As it were, the 5'11", 180-pound safety who spent most of the season in the shadows of more heralded UGA defenders had his coming-out party against TCU. When the Frogs played well for a couple of snaps, it didn't matter. He accounted for just 114 total yards and the two turnovers. Misalignment issues and busted coverage also were stalwarts in a forgettable first half that saw Georgia build an insurmountable 38-7 lead at the break. Todd Monken called whatever he wanted to from the booth, and the Dawgs offensive coordinator looked like a genius no matter what was dialed up. After failing to win a single national championship since 1980, the Georgia Bulldogs have now won back-to-back titles and finished a spotless 15-0 season in style, thrashing TCU 65-7. The Dawgs' stable of running backs dominated in yards after contact. Tennessee gets a regular-season chance to beat the Dawgs, but the Vols are replacing Hendon Hooker.

The Pac-12 is going to be fascinating to watch next season, with the quarterbacks that are going to be under center in the conference. That success put Nix in the Heisman conversation for a while, until the Ducks lost to the Huskies in a thrilling game late in the season. Nix will get another receiver to throw to via the transfer portal, and a familiar one at that. He hit on 20 of 24 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown in Clemson’s win over North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game, and will have some talent around him next year. On the defensive side of the football, the Huskies look stout up front, with Bralen Trice and Zion Tupuola-Fetui back in the fold. That unit will have to step up, or Riley will have to make some coaching changes for USC to truly get to the playoff and win a title. The reason Tennessee is on here is because of the QB. Getting the defense ironed out is a big question, but when you have offense, you can do anything in college football. With Lincoln Riley pulling the strings on the offense as well as an incoming flux of transfers and the 15th ranked recruiting class (and a top 5 transfer class), the USC offense should be once again, very good. For the second-straight season, the Wolverines fell short in the College Football Playoff, but Michigan is primed to make another deep run next season. The Bulldogs are riding high after a 65-7 romp over TCU, but the scariest part of the team that hung 65 in the national title game is that they were relatively young this year. Certainly the Bulldogs are at the top of the list.
