Paul Finebaum, Heather Dinich and Dan Orlovsky share impressions, concerns of Georgia's Peach Bowl win
Paul Finebaum, Heather Dinich and Dan Orlovsky broke down their impressions and concerns of Georgia Peach Bowl performance and discussed how the Bulldogs might fare in the College Football Playoff Championship Game against TCU on ESPN’s Get Up on Monday.
Dinich didn’t have many concerns about the Bulldogs despite their struggles, and she believes Stetson Bennett’s performance was the most impressive part.
“I was more impressed and it has everything to do with Stetson Bennett,” Dinich said. “He was so clutch when he had to be.”
Finebaum had concerns about Georgia. He believes the Bulldogs might be riding last year’s championship too much and overlooking their opponents.
“The big concern I would have though is that Georgia looks like a team that has been holding this mantle of being the defending national champion on its back,” Finebaum said. “And it seemed to have gotten to them in the second half of the LSU game in the championship and obviously before this game started.”
Orlovsky said he thinks Georgia is going to be fine. He believes the Bulldogs already beat one of the only teams capable of beating them and it should be smooth sailing against TCU.
“I felt, calling Georgia games this year and watching college football, that there were 2 teams that I thought could beat Georgia,” Orlovsky said. “One was USC and 2 was Ohio State, just because of their ability to throw the ball downfield and the dynamic talent they have on the perimeter.”
I think Ohio St had the best chance to beat UGA. They have the roster talent and passing game to cause UGA big problems.
No disrespect to TCU. They have a great team but I don’t think they have the personnel to win in the trenches. Would rather have this TCU game than a looming Bama type team with similar talent to UGA.
Careful what you wish for. TCU just beat Michigan who boat raced OSU. And earlier in the year TCU boat raced a Texas team that nearly beat Bama. I realize there is no transitive power ruling football, but TCU is a really good team.
That said, if I had to make a prediction I’d pick UGA to win. But I would bet on TCU to cover ar the current spread.
I concur that TCU is a very talented team…lots of overall team speed especially in the skill positions. They have had their back to the wall in a number of games this year and managed to win. If the Georgia defense has a good game, the Dawgs win. But if Duggan is allowed to run wild it’ll get interesting in the 4th quarter. Go Dawgs !
What an amazingly entertaining bowl season this has been. In the 5 hours since my last post I have seen two last play of the bowl game desperation rugby lateral plays.
Ohio State definitely had the ability to beat Georgia. I don’t think USC would have even made it close.
Poor Heather (and Joel Kmatt as well). They just just be heartbroken over the weekend’s results.
