Michigan doesn't have the players like Georgia does. They beat a OSU team that they haven't beaten in almost 10 years.

Sonny Dykes soon after the game talked to a sideline reporter that he kept hearing how much Michigan was more physical than TCU and they would run them over. Duggan mentioned how Harbaugh had comments towards TCU that were disrespectful.

The motivation for TCU won them the game.

Absolutely. Can Georgia’s secondary play well enough to give them a chance? Will the Dline get constant pressure? I was very impressed with TCU’s Oline and running game.

When Carter is out or not 100% as he was in the third quarter, UGA defense is much weaker. When Carter is on the linebackers and safeties have huge holes to blitz through.

Those three and outs (2) to start the second half meant too much time on the field for the defense.

You do know they had 2 pick sixes right or did you just look at the score?


Watched the entire game. TCU handled Michigan in the trenches on both LOS’s. Ran for over 2 bills without their best RB.

That same Michigan defense held Ohio State to 23 points in the Horseshoe.

Michigan has beaten Ohio State two years in a row.

Both of our corners are suspect. Ringo and Lassiter. They are young and will (hopefully) improve, but I think your observation is correct.

Correct. Miller (I think his name was?) went out and the guy that took his place was legit. I think we will have our hands full next week.

UGA D trending wrong way but I think we match up way better with TCU than we did with OSU. They’ll score but I am guessing we win a 55-31 type of game.


Same here. TCU's receivers are not as good as OSU's, but their #1 receiver (Johnson?) is excellent and is near the level of Harrison. I think TCU's RBs might be as good if not a bit better than OSU's.

Will be interested in knowing what his status is. He never went back in, but kept all his pads on for the rest of game so it didn’t seem like a season ender. And yes, their backup definitely looked legit.

Ok then a two win game winning streak. They still got stomped by Georgia last year and just lost to a TCU team that had less talent than them. It also helped that according to Sonny Dykes and his QB, Michigan had no respect for them. Motivation helped them win.

How so? Dykes won in the portal and by all indications yesterday, Michigan did not have more talent. The best QB, RB, WR, OL, DL, and LB were all wearing purple and white on the field yesterday.

Gassed defenses almost cause both to lose. I expect a lower scoring affair with long offensive possessions.

The reality of this UGA team is they're capable of winning any kind of game. They can win shoot outs. They can win defensive slugfests. They can win with special teams. They can win running the ball. They can win passing the ball short. They can win with the deep pass. they can win in domes, and outsid in crappy weather and in nice weather.

They've done all of those things at different times this year.

The thing I find most interesting about this UGA team is that they're #1 in the nation both in redzone offense and redzone defense. UGA is near the top of the nation in so many statistics it's kind of freaky. They're not in a silo in what they can do... they can do whatever it takes.

#7 in 3rd down conversions
#2 in 3rd down defense
#1 in 4th down conversions
#6 in completion percentage
#12 fewest penalties per game
#7 in first down offense
#4 in sacks allowed
#5 in TFL allowed
#5 in scoring defense
#9 in scoring offense
#10 in pass efficiency
#2 in rush defense
#8 in total offense
#11 in total defense

UGA's not just a defense or an offense. They're not a running team or a passing team. They're just really good.

They do have more talent but not much. They had more successful recruiting classes than TCU. They just didn't have enough talent to overwhelm TCU unlike Georgia could very well do.

TCU hasn’t faced a single Top 10 offense, UGA is a top 10 offense.


Interestingly enough, Georgia has faced the #1 and #2 scoring offenses; TCU is presently tied at #3 (with USC and Alabama).
