The Demolishment
Unless you are a hard-core SEC/Georgia fan, the college football national championship was pretty hard to watch, as Georgia demolished TCU. Especially for Michigan fans (well, and TCU fans) it was painful, given that it could have been Michigan in that spot, putting up a better fight. But Michigan went into the semifinal flat and lost to TCU.
College football, perhaps more than any other sport, is about match-ups-- and in particular, mismatches. Coaches figure out the weak spots in their opponent's personnel (or their own strengths) and then make a plan to take advantage of any mismatch they can identify. If a team's top two receivers are faster than any of the defensive backs, you will see them targeted.
It sure looked like Georgia figured that they were faster on the edges and could create holes for quarterback draws, and took advantage of that. Congrats to Georgia!
