The TCU-Bulldogs game was a step further from a one-sided affair. Cementing themselves as a college dynasty, Georgia scored 65 points against their opponents. In response, the underdogs could foster just 7. Bulldogs sniper QB, Stetson Bennett masterfully directed the TCY defense. Throwing for 304 yards, he ended the game with 4 touchdowns of his own. The 58-point deficit was the most in any national title game as recorded by ESPN.
