TCU overmatched: Reaction pours as in Georgia leads 38-7 at half
In the first 2 quarters of the College Football Playoff National Championship, it’s all Georgia. TCU looks brutally overmatched playing against the top-ranked Bulldogs.
Georgia’s first 6 possessions resulted in 38 points. TCU’s only “stop” on defense in the first half was holding UGA to a field goal after the Horned Frogs turned the ball in their own territory. Max Duggan and company managed one touchdown drive that was carried by a 60-yard pass play to Derius Davis.
Georgia’s defense recorded 3 takeaways, including 2 picks of Duggan, a Heisman Trophy finalist. The Dawgs have 17 points off turnovers in just the first half.
TCU has been called a Cinderella story, winning 13 games and making the national title game after a 5-7 season in 2021, but Monday looks like midnight for the Horned Frogs as they trail 38-7. The difference in talent is on display in a major way.
Here’s a small sample of what fans are saying on social media:
Frogs. Overmatched.

Was rooting for Georgia to win in a close game. So far… it’s 1 for 2. TCU looks overmatched. Still a lot of time left though. Can’t count these guys out.

TCU looks like they weren’t ready for this stage. They look way overmatched so far. If Georgia goes up 31-7 before the end of the half I’m watching basketball the rest of the night.

Let’s be honest. Is anybody really THAT surprised that TCU is completely overmatched?

After 2 instant-classic semifinals, the CFP is in danger of losing some of its non-Georgia national audience as the Dawgs make it a blowout.
…and fear reverberates throughout college football
Wait, I thought max Duggan was unstoppable
He was Tebow, manziel, Newton all rolled into one. He never gives up. Heart of a champion. Been hearing it all week
” He was Tebow, manziel, Newton all rolled into one. He never gives up. Heart of a champion. Been hearing it all week ”
He is all that. He just made the mistake of trying to tug on superman’s cape!!!!!!! God willing, Georgia will finish this and my preseason prediction of a repeat will come to pass!!!!
THE MAN WHO SEES TOMORROW!!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!

Gotta soak this up. Might not ever be this good again.
This.
This indeed
Yes. Loving it now. I’ll let next year happen next year.
It’s hard to win one. Back to back is very special and yes, should be savored
Great days to be a Georgia Bulldog! One more half and let the party begin in Athens.
Kentucky was in the dark ages for decades, so I can totally understand enjoying it while it lasts. I can take a down year from Stoops considering where he has the program at now.
You got a great one in Smart (I love me a good defensive coach). Can’t believe it was just a few years ago that he was getting criticized for how he handled the QB room.
I must say that I am surprised at the margin. The game was bigger than TCU and UGA is beating them down. Great job Georgia. Yet another NC to the SEC.
Soak it up Dawg fans. Go Dawgs!
I said that Georgia would win by 20+. Seems so far that I was right.
This is my fifth national championship game as a Dawg (‘80 and ‘82), and I’m almost speechless. Kirby’s boys are making it look SO easy.
Still, a half to go. Pedal to the metal. Two more TDs should do it.
Love that we are staying aggressive on both sides of the ball. Not typical Kirby style. I like it.
Possibly to get style points for recruiting, especially on the defensive side of the ball. I’m all for it.
Time to grind out a long scoring drive to start the third quarter. Break their will!
Yet another gwhite prediction goes up in flames.
It’s almost talking season. He will be back then
Oh don’t worry. He’ll start talking soon enough.
I want say it’s over, cause tcu has a habit of erasing deficits, but I don’t see it this time
Impressive. Most impressive.
Got any Georgia fans on here? Lol
There is not a team in the country that wouldn’t be overmatched the way the Dawgs are playing right now.
Coach Dykes was running his mouth this week about the cupcakes that the SEC plays. I believe we can now add TCU to that cupcake list.
It’s looking like UGA saved it’s biggest cupcake for the last game of their season.
.. I like cupcakes
