Georgia’s offense vs. TCU’s defense

Georgia also averages 24 points per game on offense themselves. A predictable stat for a 7-5 team. TCU on defense averages allowing 27.75 points per game. Once again, something has to give.

TCU’s defense has been pretty terrible all year with a 41-38 loss to Arkansas and a 52-46 loss to Oklahoma. But they’ve had good games as well like the 31-9 win over Texas, 33-3 win over SMU and the 24-23 win over Kansas. Other great offenses have run all over TCU, but they’ve stopped everyone else.

Georgia however has not looked good on offense for most of 2016. The 17-16 loss to Vanderbilt and the 24-10 loss to Florida are evidence of that. But they have had a few good games, notably the 33-24 win over North Carolina, 28-27 win over Missouri and the 27-24 win over Kentucky. They have their moments, but overall Georgia’s offense has struggled to score points all year.

But which unit will win on December 30th. Will Jacob Eason, Nick Chubb and company have their best game against a mediocre TCU defense. Or will the Horned Frogs do to Georgia’s offense what everyone else has in 2016?
