TCU overmatched: Reaction pours as in Georgia leads 38-7 at half

In the first 2 quarters of the College Football Playoff National Championship, it’s all Georgia. TCU looks brutally overmatched playing against the top-ranked Bulldogs.

Georgia’s first 6 possessions resulted in 38 points. TCU’s only “stop” on defense in the first half was holding UGA to a field goal after the Horned Frogs turned the ball in their own territory. Max Duggan and company managed one touchdown drive that was carried by a 60-yard pass play to Derius Davis.

Georgia’s defense recorded 3 takeaways, including 2 picks of Duggan, a Heisman Trophy finalist. The Dawgs have 17 points off turnovers in just the first half.

TCU has been called a Cinderella story, winning 13 games and making the national title game after a 5-7 season in 2021, but Monday looks like midnight for the Horned Frogs as they trail 38-7. The difference in talent is on display in a major way.

Here’s a small sample of what fans are saying on social media:

Frogs. Overmatched.

Was rooting for Georgia to win in a close game. So far… it’s 1 for 2. TCU looks overmatched. Still a lot of time left though. Can’t count these guys out.

TCU looks like they weren’t ready for this stage. They look way overmatched so far. If Georgia goes up 31-7 before the end of the half I’m watching basketball the rest of the night.

Let’s be honest. Is anybody really THAT surprised that TCU is completely overmatched?

TCU is beyond overmatched. ✌?

After 2 instant-classic semifinals, the CFP is in danger of losing some of its non-Georgia national audience as the Dawgs make it a blowout.
