Wow, what a game!
Ohio State came South with one goal: to bring the Georgia Bulldogs down to earth and shove the Buckeyes into the national championship game. They could not have gotten any closer. It was a valiant effort, but it was still a loss, and no amount of rationalizing will change the outcome.
Before looking at Georgia, C.J. Stroud deserves a word or two. I admit to being slack with film study of Stroud, and that omission was a serious blunder. Mr. Stroud played a masterful game against the Dawgs. Off-balance passes, huge runs when feeling pressure, fantastic accuracy, and vision.
