Georgia destroys TCU in the National Championship | Joel Klatt Show
FOX Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to Georgia’s blowout win over TCU in the National Championship game. Joel discusses his experience at SoFi Stadium for the game and describes what he saw in the lead-up, during the actual game, and the aftermath. Then, Joel shares his thoughts on what this means for Kirby Smart, Stetson Bennett, and the Georgia football program now that the Bulldogs have won back-to-back titles. Georgia is now definitively the top program in the country and they showed why in their win over the Horned Frogs. Finally, Joel explains why a blowout result like this is far less likely to occur in an expanded CFP, and why it is better for the sport.

Stetson will go down as one of, if not the, most legendary cfb players of all time because of what he overcame, how he stuck with the school he loved, and what he achieved for that school. That absolutely warrants a spot in the hall of fame. And notice the difference between legendary and best
I AGREE
Legendary, multi-week benders after both ‘chips too
@@claydouglas2526🎉
He deserves the recognition. At least put him in the Hall of Fame. After all, I doubt he will be able to go pro. So as far as football goes, this was it, this is his peak.
@@Kaiserboo1871 Four victories in four playoff games, and back-to-back national championships is a pretty good peak. But, I suspect Stetson may stay longer than most of us assume.
TCU saw UGA in person and started second guessing their life decisions
UGA watched the Michigan game film. TCU is a super aggressive defense, the misdirection just destroyed their confidence, and made them have to overthink things
@@SuperGamerzchannel That's it exactly. What you saw was a master class in scheming from OC Todd Monken, and good execution from the offense. Monken realized if he could get them all veering to one side of the field, he could sneak a fast guy to the other side before they had a chance to adjust. Georgia runs an efficiency offense - death by a thousand cuts. They'll get 10-15 yards at a time, keeping it within one or two downs, if you can't stop them. I think they punted exactly once. (And it was a great punt.) The defense was almost as flawless, with the exception of Ringo missing an assignment that let to TCU's score (although he cleaned it up for the rest of the game.) Kirby and the DC team figured out exactly how to counter their offense, and they just had no answers.
😂
If Ohio State had played TCU it would have been the same result
@@SuperGamerzchannel ROTFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
The National Championship game looked like Georgia’s Senior Night.
And a coming out party. The true freshmen dominated the game on defense
@@battle4truth701 Noticed that as they kept saying true freshman on tackle after tackle. Sigh, from a Gotor fan.
They played TCU the way they should have played Mizzou
Exactly, the UGA third string would have been more competition than TCU was.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kirby pulled back on the throttle in the second half in a lot of games this year and also played a lot of 2nd & 3rd string players in those games, including the championship game. You can't expect those 2nd & 3rd string players not to give it 100%.
EXACTLY RIGHT.. SHOOT THEY WANT TO SCORE AS THEY DONT GET TO PLAY OFTEN.. LOL
as soon as Kirby started substituting in the 4th starting with putting Beck in was Georgia pulling back.....players waiting all season for a chance to play and then getting a chance to play in the biggest game.....yeah their going to give it their all. Joel is saying they didn't pull back, because the quality of play coming from UGA did not go down with the subs coming in.
That 4th quarter for UGA was as much a recruiting pitch as it was Kirby saying they run the sport now.
Exactly. Incredibly rare to be able to just toss out your backups for an entire quarter of a natty. And they still didn’t stop scoring.
@@davidl1307 but the rest of the teams would simply run the ball/clock, I’m glad Georgia won but it was classless to go hurry up on the goal line
Yep I got the same feeling. As if to say if you're a HS 5-star or 4-star and you don't come to UGA you're turning down a portal to the NFL. Lot's of freshmen studs got PT.
@@johnotto4931 is tcu job to stop the Georgia offense. Not Georgia to tell their backups not to play hard
@@johnotto4931 dude I hate uga but they were trying to set records and it was quite a few players last college game. It was the last game of the season. Don’t whine about classless just because they can run the numbers up
Stetson goes to JUCO and wins the championship, starts at UGA for 2 seasons and wins two championships, but people don’t see him as the common denominator
He should be the number 1 pick in the draft his age might hold him back from being selected number 1,dude is like 27 or something right
@@dionellwalker9762 25. Did you know TCU’s punter is 29
One of the things I took away from this Georgia stomping of TCU was how badly Michigan represented itself against TCU. Not to take anything away from Georgia-I totally think they would have taken Michigan had they played last night. Not to this extent, though. But holy smokes, what a dominant team!! Astonishing, really.
So Michigan thrashing OSU then Georgia barely scraping by them? It’s college football, it doesn’t have to mean anything. Just enjoy it.
@@otd2808 Yep. Good point.
@@otd2808 any given Monday
Georgia got to watch the Michigan TCU game. They saw what worked (Michigan's second half offense scoring 39 points) and avoided shooting themselves in the foot like Michigan's O did in the first half and Michigan's D did in the second half (cover zero is a bad idea against a good, mobile qb) ... Having healthy, experienced running backs (as opposed to Michigan's Rb1 Corum out and Rb2 Edwards playing with a broken thumb) helps, too.
As a fan of Georgia first (where I'm from)and Michigan second, (where I've lived for 35 years) and following both teams almost equally,, I can say that Georgia probably would have beaten them by 20, with more points scored on each side than last years semifinal. Michigan would have matched up better than TCU, but Georgia is just too talented.
If it hadn't been for the busted coverage on that one pass play for 60 yards or whatever it was, it would have been 65 - 0.
georgia always bust coverages against decent passing teams,,,,,that is the weakest part of that defense, they are great but they are not flawless
@@terrymarsh2001 29-1 last 30 games 😂 yeah ok
@@terrymarsh2001 obviously there coverage isn't that bad if they went undefeated
It’s very possible this game could’ve ended 79-0
@@downd.stairs9060 when did i say it was bad? i will wait for your lazy answer sir
Well, that was an old fashioned curb stomping last night. Congratulations to Georgia! 🐾🏈🏆
Kirby got some valuable experience for his freshmen. There were a lot of freshman playing late in the game. They got to play in the bright lights of the ncg.
True, and it wasn't like georgia was running the score up: TCU simply couldn't move the ball.
Or tackle the 4th string RB’s.
All of the sacks georgia had was by freshman.
@@neilforehand1121 Actually the 7th RB in rotation was averaging 7 ypc 😂. Amazing!
The Ohio State game had two first time starters on the Oline and Freshmen who've barely started on D.
This is why Joel Klatt is the best and most reasonable cfb analyst. He understands probability, randomness and variance in cfb. So few others do.
I like Joel and Josh Pate. About the only 2 online I follow for recaps and opinions.
It's almost like when you play the sport for a prolonged period of time you understand the nuances of it. In my city on our sport talk radio the morning show has two guys, one who just followed sports his whole life and one who played college ball and won a natty, and it is hilarious listening to their differing opinions after a big game. The guy who follows will make a claim and the ballplayer will just say, "No, you're wrong. This is actually what is going on in the locker room during that half."
Better teams with more talent win. It's that easy.
Is it reasonable to say Max Duggan is one of 4 QBs who can beat UGA? 65-7
@@RB-.- Him and McCarthy were easily the worst qb's of the 4
Sad to see season end this way. At least we got to see 2 great Semi-Final games.
This was a great season lol GO Dawgs
Yea, two weak ass teams huffing and puffing, and OSU giving Georgia a real problem until receiver went down, like last year against Bama.
Great semifinal games and aye man UGA beat the Game participants, revenged game vs Bama and slaughtered TCU. W back 2 back
Whelp... that depends on your perspective I guess... lol GO DAWGS!!!!
Sad for who?
Didn’t Joel say this game would be closer than people think?
Need to give more credit to Lad MacConkey. Bro takes shots in his knees for the pain before the games and he still balls out
Joel, what does Stetson not do great? All I saw was laser accuracy, good arm strength, and oh yeah he can run!! Dude was throwing dimes down the field!!!
I don’t get it either. It’s like Josh Pate said, if they’re not convinced by now they’re just haters or being willfully ignorant. Klatt is a prime example. Stetson leveled up quite a bit the last two seasons. Dude is a fantastic college QB. His intangibles are through the roof. He’s a little bit of a gunslinger but so what? I’d rather my QB have a little of that in him than the other way around.
Stetson Bennett might be the Tom Brady of CFB...overlooked, unattractive measureables, and not respected until he won some rings, etc.
You can say this about him for sure. He may not have the prototypical arm, or other attributes. But he has squeezed every ounce of ability out of himself. hard to refute that.
Number 1 pick I in this year's draft
He had some bad throws and was lucky one of them fell incomplete. Bennett was sweating in the final minute of the game, and I think he actually thought they were going to lose when he spinned something into the air. If OSU picks up 5 yards to get well within the 30yd line, kicker probably makes the FG & OSU wins. But Day runs the ball & gets stuffed & loses a yard. I know, I know. if and buts.
As a Georgia fan, congratulations to TCU. They had a great season. But they just ran into a buzzsaw.
That and they were just happy to be there. You can play the best team still get crushed and not have it look like this. When they leave bowers wide open all night the best player they just didn't care about the game.
That buzzsaw came fresh out of Lowe's 😂🤣😂🤣
DITTO AND AMEN
Thanks. We should have played better but this game is all about the Bulldogs. They were truly fantastic. Overall, this was one of the great college football seasons ever.
Tcu shouldn't be embarrassed, michigan should. Hats off to tcu on a great season
TCU should absolutely be embarrassed 🤣
I AGREE...
Michigan fans should send Thank You notes to the referees they've been complaining about. ha ha.
Joel, always a detailed take. Breaking it all down from the grass to the trophy. Thank you for that.
Georgia made TCU resemble a community college
They are a community college they have people go there with helments on.😂😹🤣
Looked like a season opener against a fcs team. Your warm up game.
Several days ago I posted that I was baffled that Klatt didn’t even bother noting that Georgia was 10th in the nation in total D while TCU was a horrendous 82nd. Turns out I was right.
Congratulations to Georgia Bulldogs and Kirby Smart from Ohio state Buckeyes fan from El Paso Texas.....
From a die hard Georgia fan but also just a College Football fan at heart I would like to tip my hat to TCU!!! Yes the season definitely didn't end on a good note but that doesn't take away from a heck of a magical ride you guys truly had this season!!! As a fan I enjoyed watching that single season turnaround from 5-7 last year and being slated to finish at #7 in the Big 12 conference to being 13-2 and in the National Championship game!!! Hold your heads up and I think you have a great future!!! This magical season will help in the recruiting and Sonny Dykes seems to be a good fit too at TCU!!! Good luck next season!!! 🤝💯
🤦🏽♂️
Tf you talking about. They didn't win their own conference. They won against Michigan and they can talk about that for many years to come. But I never want to see a team like TCU in a Natty again. That game was horrible, I fell asleep at halftime. Georgia was far superior in every category. The writing was on the wall
@@davyboy9397 Really terrible. I actually wanted them in to give them a chance , but not anymore 😂😂
@@davyboy9397 I know they didn't win the Big 12; Kansas State did.... but TCU did have a good season overall that's all I'm saying. I knew we'd win big... talent and depth wise we royally outclass TCU by miles!!! I agree it was a very boring National Championship game and wish it was more competitive but it is what it is...
@@thecigaremperorreviewsciga7723 Game was Vandy vs Georgia, Bama and Tennessee (this season) levels bad. Actually worse really. Georgia took out all their starters and were still absolutely destroying them
Michigan dodged a bullet. No team could have stopped UGA last night. After watching that thumping 65-7 performance, Michigan is really happy they lost a close one to TCU and kept some dignity.
Yeah cuz now tcu will be #1 for a very long time at something no one wants to be... and put a sore spot on the heart of Texas football in general
😂🏈💀
Just proves the authentic NC game was Georgia-Ohio State.
Yeah bc Ohio State got blew out by UGA 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
TCU looked like they was just happy to be there and Georgia looked like a team trying to start a dynasty
Exactly, TCU didn’t seem to even care. And Georgia played like their lives depended on it. TCU is closer than that but just looked like a deer in the head lights.
THAT S FAIR
That wasn't a happy face, that was I hope poo doesn't show through my purple pants face
Joel, you are by far the best at what you do.
You should see me
Congratulations Georgia from a sad Buckeye fan 😢
Ohio State got screwed by the refs not once, but twice. Just like Kirby Smart said, "Ohio State deserved to win that game". OSU couldn't beat a great Georgia team and incompetent officiating.
@@danielhorstman7097 your right
@@danielhorstman7097 Cope
@@danielhorstman7097 How can you blame the ref when Ohio st had a chance to win and missed?
Ohio State should feel awesome because they showed they can play with anyone. I feel TCU they never stood a chance.
We'll probably never see a blowout this bad in a title game again.
PROB NOT.. NOT THAT BAD
For historical context, to cap the 1995 season Nebraska destroyed Florida 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. Florida was undefeated and won the SEC championship, including beating a good FLA St team in the reg season (FLA St was10-2, beat ND in bowl game). TCU didn't win the B12 & had 9 close games, including Mich. Florida blew out 8 or 9 opponents and closest game was 11 pts (twice). Nebraska won 2 NC in 94 & 95 and should have been the AP NC in 1997, but the sportswriters handed it to Michigan. As bad as the TCU loss was, I'd say Florida's loss was worse.
@@jky3889 Since Florida was a much better team than this TCU team I see your argument. That Nebraska team has been called the best ever by some sports pundits.
I get your pts about Stet but as a lifelong fan and born and raised in Athens, GA… it’s best to NEVER doubt #13 He’s just DIFFERENT in the best kinda way! When you’re chosen it’s just that and it often tends to be unexplainable. Only history will tell us who the REAL Cinderella was. ❤️🐶 What a great season for our Dawgsssss 65-7 and 15-0 season 🥇😎
GO DAWGS!!!
Dude is like 30 years old playing against kids he doesn't get any points for that game,it's a problem if at that age and you still playing college football lol
@@dionellwalker9762 TCU field goal kicker is 29 yrs old and nobody is complaining about that. Both were eligible to play college football with the school guidelines. Heck Tenn QB is 25 yrs old too but I don’t hear else complaining. Your pt is “Nonsense”

Literally the only thing that stopped georgia last night was the game clock.
Georgia was out for blood, TCU was just happy to be there
Good point Klatt. TCU did not seem fired up. They were defeated before the game started.
I don't think they it is about being fired up as it is they feared the shark they were about to swim with. They were too tense and they played the worst they could. UGA came out like a horde of teenagers rushing the fresh pizzas 🍕 TCu was the pizza.
They played another level of competition than did UGA and it exposed the Little 12 as did the Sugar Bowl with Bama's beat down of their champion in KState.
In addition TCU probably shot their load playing Michigan. They had nothing in the tank emotionally for Georgia
TCU’s coach pregame interview reminded me of LeBron when he was interviewed his last year as a Cavalier before they met KD, Steph, and Klay in the finals. He knew what was about to happen but he still had to say all the right things.
@@leadershippush3808 Good point 👍🏽
When Spurrier was on his roll against Georgia and used to be throwing with big leads he said, "It's our job to score. It's their job to stop us. Can't stop us? Oh well, not my problem."
This analysis earned you another subscriber. Brilliant observations and your experience with attending games has given you a keen eye for it.
You should hear mine
THANK YOU FOR GIVING CHRIS LEAK CREDIT FOR THAT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! It drives me nuts that people credit two national championships to Tim Tebow. He was a specialty/goal line player for the first one. Chris Leak beat Ohio St and that national championship is his.
Chris Leak one of the best qbs in College Football history
Florida is nothing without Tebow tho. They haven't recovered since.
Today, I love Tim Tebow, back then - not so much. I'm so happy to have all of the Steve Spurrier and Urban Myer days in my rear view mirror. To barrow from a current add campaign, like it never even happened!
Stetson bennett is a first ballot college football hall of famer, come on klatt “ he’s never going to make the college football hall of fame” 4 quarterbacks have back to back championships, stetson is one of them. Folks just need to accept his greatness and not try to explain it
He won't be in the hall of fame, you have to be voted an all American he never was.
Terrible take on Stetson Bennett. He makes plays with his arm and legs that very few can/have made. He won that QB battle against 5 stars. He’s a college football HOFer
he should be a hall of famer but he is not eligible because he was never an all-american. he will be a uga hall of famer/ring of honor player one day for sure and a DAMN GOOD DAWG!
Was waiting to see this comment. People hate so much. It’s ridiculous actually. Stet should be in the HOF for his resiliency and determination alone.
@@dylanw6 dude you can tell watching him, hes a product of the talent around him.
He's also 25. At 25 Mahomes was playing in Super Bowls. Imagine how good Bryce Young and CJ Stroud would be playing against CFB players at 25.
@@dubvideos same argument goes to Young, Burrow, Tua, Trevor etc etc…. I mean, Stet can’t help the fact his team his good. Stet is just good at execution… which not every QB can do. The QB spot is a manager position. He handles it perfectly. He even becomes a luxury by his athleticism and talent. Can’t knock the guy. No matter his age either. That is a weak argument with no foundation.. Hendon Hooker is 26…. Where is his “age related hate” treatment when he was throwing dimes to 18 years olds??? Lol. People hate just too hate. Their pride blocks their own self from enjoying greatness/relentless effort/ dedication/underdog mentality that’s right in front of them. Carry on
As an Oregon fan, that 49-3 lost seems pretty close now. Glad we weren't in a natty getting killed like that!
same thing. You didnt even sniff the endzone
@@LeonStjames lol 😂
Book ends
They didn't have to go for it on 4th down, but that was the backups who certainly wanted a chance to play ball and show themselves, too. It's not more violent for UGA to play offense than defense vs. TCU. But Klatt is right - this was a statement to the college football world. A statement to Saban. A statement to recruits. And a statement to UGA's current players to NOT go into the portal. Stats make happy players. :)
I’m a Georgia fan, lifelong. I was being asked all Monday what did I think was gonna happen and I told everybody that TCU just was not ready. Georgia has been here before and they haven’t and I wasn’t gonna talk any smack until after the game and anything could happen, but TCU was not ready and I was 110% correct.
WELL TCS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN READY BUT EVEN IF THEY WERE, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE WON THAT GAME.. UGA JUST TOO GOOD FOR THEM.. I ACTUALLY THINK MICHIGAN IS BETTER THAN TCU.. THEY JUST SHOT THEMSELVES N THE FOOT OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UGA BEATING MICHIGAN BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD
Going for it on 4th down and blitzing Duggan isn't ruthless on Kirby Smart. It's the young men on the field have earned the right to play just as hard as the rest of the Georgia team no matter what string player they are. Think of the memories those guys get to take from last night instead of just watching the team kneel forvan entire quarter.
Consider this: In 2017, Stet IV was ranked the 2569th high school football player. Was Stet A) lucky/fortunate, B) under ranked, C) worked his a$$ off to get in this position ,or D) all of the above. The answer is D. Respect the fade.
@cacable7 Opportunistic as well. Forgot about that one. Did Stet waste the opportunity? How did Fields do with his opportunity at Ohio State?
@cacable7 So both did just fine with the opportunities presented to them. Congratulations to both Bennett and Fields.
@cacable7 So, he’s 25. That’s obviously a problem to you for some reason. You know, Stetson is not the oldest college QB to win a championship. And if we’re comparing these 2 studs, one is 6’3”, 227 lbs and the other is 5’11” maybe and 185 lbs. Why not give props to Stet for what he’s done with what he got?
At this point, I am not sure what will change the narrative. I hope that he has an opportunity to prove himself. If he’s not a fit, that’s fine, but he does deserve a chance.
@@GMAMEC Agree. Whether he makes it at the Pro level or not is immaterial to what he’s done at the college level. I’m not sure what the “he’s 25” is all about. Even if Stet was over 6’1” and weighed over 200 lbs and was 3 star or higher out of high school that it would take anything away from what he accomplished at Georgia.
Georgia, like Bama, is a TEAM. You don't have to have a Heisman QB to win with a really great TEAM.
In a way both TCU and Georgia played their national championship in the semifinals.
Your confusing most talented with best. He proved on the field with his play that he is the best. He didn’t just go along for the ride he was the reason they won vs Bama and many of the big games. He made big time throws and runs.
This just goes to show just how good that Cincinnati team was last year. They played a 3 3 5 and held their own against Alabama. Also, they held the ball and moved the ball a little bit. TCU couldn't do anything against Georgia. So, imho, I belive 12 teams are too many, 8 would be ideal. Hat's off to Georgia, well deserved.
8 is perfect.
8 is too many as well, it's at 4 right now and we still have teams in the playoffs that didn't even win their own conference. I feel like you should at least be a conference champion if you want to have a chance to play in the national championship.
@@johnnyslokes2712 why? There's only 1 good conference.
OSU could focus on Bowers fairly early because they no longer had to worry about Washington.... Missing him also hampered UGA's run-game.
You said it. I'll let it stand with that. UGA is the standard. I love college football, but you have to open your eyes to who is calling the shots. God Bless
Ohio State was without RB1, RB2, RB3, WR1, WR2 (out after 3), TE1….it mattered. Congratulations Dawgs, they did earn it.
Blah, blah, blah
So you need to recruit better. Everybody had injuries. Maybe start putting some of that NIL 💰 on the defensive side of the ball. Or.... Figure out how not to blow a 2td lead in the 4th qtr.! 🤷🏾♂️

@@nickma71 o gosh I'm stealing this line!
Dear ohio, LIke I told your daddy Michigan the season end just fine without you like it has for AWHILE.

Best regards, All of College Football
I’ve always been a fan of playing to score at all points in a game regardless if it’s a blowout. Especially in this situation where it’s such a massive statement for recruiting

Maybe the field was set up for a Cinderella team.. maybe, when people said they would get smashed, given their conference, second thoughts should have been given.
65-7
Yes, they had a great season. They plowed thru a crappy conference, beat an overrated Michigan team, playing the best game of their life only to get wrecked by GA. They should NOT have been in the top four. It would have saved them a great deal of embarrassment.
I agree. As a Dawgs fan, I’m proud of TCU. They’re just class and hard work all around.
@@Rebel-Rouser Should have been Bama... would have at least been competitive.
A couple of things: 1. Kirby puts the backups in at the end of every game where they are up big. Tons of backups. And they play as hard as they possibly can. This gives the coaches the ability to evaluate them in actual games, and gives the future starters for next year vital experience in actual games. This is the process. I don't think they care acout the score or the other team. Georgia is focused on Georgia getting better. 2. Stetson is not the same qb as he was. He got better every year and every game of his career. He wasn't as good as Aaron Murray or David Greene at the beginning of last year. Not even close. But now? Yes, he is better than they were. It is a credit to how hard he works. I was one who was hoping Georgia would play JT last year after the SEC Championship loss. I was wrong. If Georgia had to play another game next week, I would take Stetson over anyone who has ever suited up for Georgia. He made every throw againt TCU. Every throw exactly where it needed to be. His progress has been incredible.
I think people who don’t have Stetson ranked very high for QBs or GA players are stuck on him being a walk-on
Honestly, after hearing Kirby's interview before kickoff, I knew the team would be focused. Then I heard the leaked locker room speech, and no one was going to beat UGA last night.
Where is it??? I wanna hear it!!!
Exactly. TCU was, well, in way over their heads...and they fully realized that by halftime.
If you watch the Michigan game, Michigan moved the ball on almost every possession, and with tons of big plays, they only stopped themselves with the fumble and pick sixes, without that they woulda scored 60+ I was worried for tcu going against Georgia cause Georgia offense is better than Michigan and they torched it. Michigans defense played its worst game of the season and we’re trying to be to aggressive. But to be fair I don’t think we woulda beat Georgia but it would been much closer cause the talent gap isn’t so extreme
Michigan would have gotten smashed
@@cooldudecs we smashed Ohio and Georgia barley beat them
Exactly. Take one of those mistakes away max and Michigan wins. People are quick to say they’re overrated because of the cupcake schedule which is true they had a cupcake schedule but we won the games in front of us or whatever bs people say.
Michigan didn’t beat tcu
Yea it is
Kirby basically took the Bama blueprint from 2008-2013 and updated it with some perfected wrinkles. As a Bama fan, I think Saban realized we need to get back to that 2008-2013 playing style. Congrats to UGA on taking the torch.
Kirby didn’t take the bama blueprint he was the bama blueprint
When he took it did saben not have a copy? Just wondering what happened?
Bama's defense hasn't been the same since Kirby left.
Great analysis and perpesctive,spot on!
I would love to see falcons draft Bennett. I think in right system he would be great 👍
Dear God not the trash Falcons.
On Bennett's Age. You do realize Chris Weinke, A heisman and national champion QB at FSU started his college career at 25... started
And he’s playing against other 25 year olds. I guess he was the only player Covid affected.
Already hating on Stetson Bennet. This is exactly the disrespect that gave UGA the will to win number 2. Lets go number three. Keep it up!
Y’all still hate on Stetson when he’s been the MVP of each play off game 😂.
UGA defense tackles better than any team in cfb and it isn't even close. They give up a big play from time to time, but they really make you earn every yard which is hard to do. I wish more teams would adopt that mentality
Hard to do when Georgia scoops up all the elite DT’s
@@JC_Enterprise lol it ain't just there DTs it's the entire defense brother. But you right...uga gets who they want
Yes, I've heard comments from coaches and players that it physically hurts to play Georgia. They hit and tackle hard.
3-3-5 struggles at containing TE play in general. Don’t get me wrong I believe it can be a a great system, but if your going to beat a uga level team you need to be much higher on the talent level. I’m a UGA fan and I still have a lot of respect for TCU. Joe Gillespie deserves a larger salary and a much bigger recruiting budget.
Yep - it was designed to match up against those 2x2 receiver sets that are so common in the B12, and it works really well against them. With 12 personnel you can force them to tip their hand early with the placement of your TEs. That breaks up their symmetry and makes it harder for them to surprise you at the snap.
@@CinHotlanta true. Also I think for it to be even better you need to less true safeties. TCU’s safeties have been amazing all year with their reads, but the lack of size made it hard for them to cover anything cause even if they made a great read UGA’s RB’s and WR’s could just use their mass as a mismatch.
I dont understand why everyone is so taken by the 3-3-5 speak. Tons of teams run that as part of their defensive scheme. You just dont stay in that the entire game. Its nowhere unique or exotic like the talking heads make it out to be.
It's a gimmicky defense that Texas teams like to use
*you're. you are. ... if you're going to beat a uga level team. ... if you are going to beat a uga level team. Your is the possessive: your house, your car, your team.
Idk why but that pic of the buffalo in the background is so dam funny lol
I was at the big 12 game when you went down Joel. Glad you are ok. It was a beat down that day. Glad you don't remember it! Glad you're ok.
I'm a biased Bama fan, but I am disappointed that Kirby hasn't followed Saban with sportsmanship. Whether it is going for it on 4th when you're up big against TCU or going for 2 against LSU when you're like 20 points ahead. Say what you will about Saban, but he doesn't run up scores for the sake of sportsmanship.
This is stupid… he went for it on 4th down with a 3rd string rb and second string O line instead of kicking what would have been an easy field goal, technically he was going easy by not taking the points since TCU should have been able to stop back ups.TCU just gave up same as bama beating all those teams 65-7
which is why Alabama is no longer the king of CFB. Saban has lost his edge.
@@rwtindall that guy is just sour because Bama played terrible in big games this year and cost themselves a spot in the playoff
@@rwtindall And he went for 2 against LSU in the SEC Championship when he was up by almost 3 touchdowns to run the clock too?
@@justinmccarty7890 Bama may beat teams 65-7 but in almost every instance, there are points left on the field. Coach Kirby doesn’t ever turn it off. He’s doesn’t make a point to show class or sportsmanship.
Stetson is the most accomplished and greatest story of all time at UGA. Congrats to him!
💯💯
@@brandonishim2808 I think Stetson accomplished what he wanted to do the most in life. He got to play starting QB for his favorite team!
Congratulations 👏
I can't fathom why it's so difficult for people to give Stet the respect he deserves. People always bring up the fact that he wasn't a 5 star but at the end of his career it didnt matter. When it came time to show up and win that's all he did. You have trouble believing he is one of the best Players even though he was a heisman finalist. The hate and disdain for stetson is real.
After seeing TCU for the first time against Michigan. I couldn't help but think that Georgia, OSU, or even Alabama could light that defense for 60. Just so happens, that is what Georgia did last night. They were susceptible through the air, which opened up the ground game. They had a great season, but were exploited by a sharp coaching staff that recognized and attacked that weakness.
TCU vs Michigan and Ohio State vs. UGA were both 15 round bouts. TCU had to exert lots of physical, emotional and mental energy to get past Michigan. UGA had to do the same vs. Ohio State. Difference is that UGA could rebound and turn around after Ohio State and play TCU at a peak level performance. TCU could not. That is because UGA is legitimately 3 deep on both offense and Defense and has the depth to play back to back heavy weight bout games. TCU, not so much.
That is true, but in the Michigan game It was obvious that Michigan themselves could have put 60 on them if they would have exploited the downfield passing game weakness in the first half. 39 points in the 2nd half after they finally opened it up with the downfield passing game and JJ's feet.
Bennett had all time career yardage against OSU and they scored 42 points. Georgia played well win that game.
Glory glory to ole Georgia
Keep underestimating Bennett. He'll be in the College Football Hall of Fame and he'll play in the NFL. And that 65-7 score was recruiting genius by Kirby Smart.
@Brandon Is Him ok, we’ll see.
OFC this is the beginning of a dynasty. Back to back titles are rare. UGA can actually do it again next year. Not going to be easy but still possible with the returning talent + the new players coming in.
Who will be the qb?
Going to be very easy with there schedule. I wouldn’t even give them dynasty status if they win next year with how terrible there schedule is
@@delectableprovisions Either Carson Beck or Brock Vandagriff. There's 9 stars between them. There's another 5-star, Gunner Stockton, on the bench; he was a redshirt this year. we have another 4-star coming in 2024 as well.
@@jojosplashy23 Yeah, it's a weak schedule, but there's also the SEC championship game which will be against a tough team, and then whoever we may face in the playoffs.
He'd win all those battles. Stequavious is the goat
What a way for Georgia to bookend their schedule, by stomping AP preseason #11 Oregon (coached by Dan Lanning who knew the Bulldogs program as their former DC) 49-3 in week one, and then putting up another basketball score on #3 TCU in the season finale. Makes me wonder what a computer simulation matchup would show with Joe Burrow's LSU title team, which beat the top-4 teams in the AP preseason poll on their way to the national championship.
That game was just a Georgia Talent showcase.
i dont think its hard to place him, he's like the Miami qbs that played on great teams. Ken Dorsey is the best comparison off the top of my head.
Stetson better make it to the CFB HOF
Game was closer than I thought
Goooo Dawgs! I really like your honesty and truth great Podcast 👍
Very embarrassing as a TCU fan 😔. I though the team would at least try.
They did UGA is just better
@@SoSickRick yea it definitely showed last night.
Everyone acknowledged that they needed some early breaks, they just didn't come and that got the snowball rolling downhill.
it was a bad matchup, yall could rush vs michigan you couldnt vs georiga. you couldnt pass well vs michigan so you wouldnt vs georiga. michigan lit yall up PASSING, michigan dont pass well. therefore georiga will. just a bad matchup
Bottom line for TCU. Too much pressure, no experience, playing the experienced Champs, Millions watching.
Can’t wait for the enjoyment of a 12 to 16 team playoff
Why? With the arbitrary rules that are going to be in place to keep out as many SEC teams as they can to placate the other conferences, complete and total beatdowns like this are going to be the norm and no one will watch the games. They need to find a way to re-introduce a BCS style system to determine who gets in the playoffs, not give teams a participation trophy for winning shitty conferences.
Sucks Georgia will run it every year
@@kanejohn13 shiiiiit y’all lucky it wouldn’t expanded this year Bama would crashed your party lol😂
@@kanejohn13 You never know. Hoping for a resurgence for the Gators.
enjoyment ???? lol them injuries, opt outs and blowouts increase. idk why y’all think that helps (also Bama, UGA, Ohio State…. never will miss it now, yay)
this is like USC vs OU, Bama vs ND, LSU vs everybody... there's levels to this... Sometimes the best team in the country is still several levels higher than the number 2...
Joel with a good take as always
The most embarrassing thing is that if Georgia started taking a knee at 5 minutes 🤔🤷🏻♂️👀
Can’t say I saw that. Not caring who won I quit watching way before half time. Looked like a good fbs team playing a bad fcs team. Was a terrible game unless your a Georgia fan. At least the playoff games and bowl games this year were competitive and fun to watch
Thank you! What are the good options there? Take a knee and embarrass your opponent by saying we aren’t even going to try? They ran it on 4th down to keep the clock running. There were no good options at that point. I have already heard people giving UGA hell for taking 2 curtain calls to celebrate their players! You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I agree about the blitzing though… probably shouldn’t have been doing that, but again, the backups are in and they’re excited to have the chance to play in this game. They want to make a splash too! This isn’t guaranteed for anyone to have this experience/opportunity again, so when you get the opportunity to play and make a big hit or make a big run (Branson Robinson) you do it! Period.
Yeah, that didn't happen...
Key word "if" reading hard
Bennett is underrated still. He has a better arm and better legs than a decent number of NFL QBs. He's an NFL prospect, just not an elite NFL prospect. Almost every NFL QB is a bust anyhow, including the huge #1 draft guys. His performance and leadership was key to winning two national championships. There are "better" QB prospects who would have lost more games.
Quit talking down Stetson he’s a killer on the field tired of the game manager talk. He’s the goat of Georgia football. He’s gonna get drafted
People want to say he's 25 like it's 35. He only got 1st team snaps less than 2 years. In those games he went 27 and 1. His only loss was to Bama in the SEC Championship. He played in 4 playoff games and won the offensive MVP in all 4. Plus the MVP in this years SEC Championship. Then to top it off won the Manning award this year for best QB in College football. Tell me of another QB with a better resume who will not make the college Hall of Fame.
Expanding the playoff makes it more likely for more dud games, and an all SEC final.
Here's my problem with everyone's critique of Stetson Bennett, Didn't everyone basically do the same thing to Tom Brady? Sometimes it's not about your physical attributes but other intangibles that very few guys that do have the physical ability don't have..
Yes, they did. But Tom Brady is the anomaly. He also benefitted from being in a great system with the right coach. And he's had a lot of luck and great kickers. All of these things worked out for him. The reality is that the criticism of quarterbacks like this is usually warranted.
Love the show! I will disagree; an expanded playoff may allow for a team to get that one out of ten against a 'better' team and then end up playing deeper in the playoff or even in the final game and they would not 'belong' there. This same result would then happen.
Facts!
Last night proved the Big 12 is a group of 5 conference. The only Power conferences are the SEC… ok just Power One and group of however many. It just means more.
Ohio st should've been the 3 seed. That way we could've gotten the splattering out of the way early and OSU/Mich against Georgia for the natty
The first time I saw Kirby throttle the opposition while the latter is still showing some pulse.
That's what she said.
Stetsons numbers in big games are off the charts. He's not comparable to a guy like AJ McCarron who was actually a game manager. (Unlike Stetson who erroneously gets called a game manager by dumb people.) Stetson threw for 400 against OSU in the semi, and every single one of those yards was necessary, because our defense was getting shredded by Stroud. Does Stetson have a great team around him? Absolutely. But is Stetson one of the greatest college qbs of all time. Absolutely.
I remember Kirby telling his team, "I've seen teams loose to Alabama in warm ups".
Klatt is hating on Stetson and im a UF fan, Stetson is a GREAT college QB, period, put Bryce Young in Stetson success.......you do the math, im sorry he wasn't a 5 ☆ recuit and im sorry people were still doubting him after winning a Championship last year 👏🏾
