The Horned Frogs clinched their place in this showpiece final with a 45-51 victory over No. 2 Michigan in an enthralling Fiesta Bowl on Saturday by a 44-point third quarter lead.
Georgia entered the clash as the clear favorite, but was below their best as they held on for a 42-41 comeback win over Ohio State in the Peach Bowl, with the edge-of-seat action ultimately decided by a missed a 50-yard field goal by OSU. On paper, this year’s showpiece finale looks like quite the mismatch, but can TCU’s underdog spirit prevail once again?
