This feels like it should be a back-and-forth shootout similar to what both these teams played in their semifinals. It's hard to see Georgia's defense going in complete shutdown mode. It hasn't really put the clamps down on an elite offense since the Tennessee game. In UGA’s last 2 games against potent offenses like LSU and Ohio State it gave up 30 and 41 points, respectively. Even though TCU got 2 pick-6s against Michigan, 51-point output was still in part due to a prolific offense. The Bulldogs will have to be aware of TCU wideout Quentin Johnston, who is every bit as good as Marvin Harrison, Jr. — who was routinely open throughout the Peach Bowl before leaving due to a concussion. Meanwhile, not including the outlier that was a 16-6 win over Kentucky, Georgia has averaged 43.5 points in its last 4 outings.
