It had the press build up. It had the place: Atlanta, GA. It had the quarterbacks: Stroud v. Bennett III. Georgia would like to repeat as national champion. Ohio St. would like to replace the Bulldogs as champions of college football. The winner would face TCU, the team that beat Michigan earlier on New Years Eve day, Saturday, December 31, 2022.
What a game! It came down to the last seconds: Ohio, with less than 2 minutes to go, started the drive on their own 25 yardline. They were behind after Georgia engineered a scoring drive that put them ahead, 42-41. Stetson Bennett threw two touchdowns in the 4th quarter to have his team retake the lead. Ohio St. gave up a huge lead they had after the 3rd quarter. But, their defense could not handle the Bulldog offensive game. With a few seconds to go, Ohio St. lined up for a 50 yard field goal attempt to win the game. Their kicker approached the ball and missed the right contact point and the ball shanked to the left, missing the uprights completely. Georgia fans reacted appropriately.
Bulldogs versus the Horned Frogs for the championship next week.
