Georgia and TCU are more similar than you think. The two combatants in Monday night's College Football Playoff National Championship (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) both like to spread defenses out with lots of quick, horizontal passes. They both spend a majority of their time lined up in a 3-3-5 defense, or something very close to it. They are a combined 27-1 this season, and they have both risen to the occasion whenever asked.
They boast plenty of dissimilarities, too, of course. Georgia is one of the sport's three great recruiting powerhouses along with Alabama (the team the Bulldogs beat in last season's national title game) and Ohio State (the team they beat in last week's CFP semifinal).
