Kendre Miller, TCU’s star running back, is listed as questionable for the National Championship game between the Georgia Bulldogs and TCU Horned Frogs.
Miller injured his knee in the Fiesta Bowl against Michigan. Head coach Sonny Dykes further explained his injury status Tuesday afternoon.
Miller has been a star for the Horned Frogs and would be a huge loss entering their biggest game since the 1938 Sugar Bowl, when Dutch Meyer took the Horned Frogs to a 11-0 record and national championship season. He has so far totaled 1,399 rushing yards with 12 touchdowns this season.
Georgia is already slated to be the heavy favorites in this game, looking to win back-to-back titles after a 41-year title drought was snapped last season. Without Miller, things could get much tougher for the Horned Frogs against a tough Georgia DL.

Honestly I'm not sure a broken leg would keep this kid from playing, or any player from TCU, those kids are gamers.
Without OL Warren McClendon, TE Darnell Washington and OLB Chaz Chambliss, Georgia finds itself on the worry list as well. It is all about "next man up", but after a tough couple title games, both teams are a little beat up.
14 games in, there are bound to be some walking wounded
Always expect him to go and be 100% ready.
