Georgia is the first team in the CFP era to face Heisman Trophy-finalist quarterbacks in consecutive playoff games. Last year, the Bulldogs defeated Michigan, featuring defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, in the Orange Bowl. Hutchinson finished second in the Heisman voting in 2021. The Bulldogs then went against Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young as they knocked off Alabama in the championship game.This season, the Bulldogs defeated Ohio State, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, who finished third in the voting, and will face TCU, led by quarterback Max Duggan, who finished second behind USC's Caleb Williams in the voting, in Monday's championship game. "Definitely a fun challenge," Georgia safety Christopher Smith said. "I don't ever approach the game with any fear. You play the game for moments like this. Like I said, I'm thankful to be able to have the opportunity to be able to go against such great players. I can't wait for the game on Monday." - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Georgia coach Kirby Smart knew his defense was super athletic. He didn't know they would be this good. Christopher Smith returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown and the fifth-ranked Bulldogs turned in a defensive effort for the ages, toppling N o. 3 Clemson 10-3 on Saturday in the opener for both teams. The Bulldogs held the Tigers to 2 yards rushing and sacked D.J. Uiagalelei seven times to position themselves for a serious run at the College Football Playoffs.Uiagalelei finished 19 of 37 for 178 yards with one interception. He bobbled snaps, was out of sync with his receivers and spent most of the day under heavy duress against a relentless Bulldogs pass rush. "We frustrated and confused them," Smart said. Even when Georgia turned the ball over, the Tigers couldn't take advantage. Trailing 7-0 in the third quarter, Baylon Specter appeared to give the Tigers some momentum when he intercepted JT Daniels' pass at the Georgia 33. But after a short gain on first down Uiagalelei was sacked on consecutive plays and Clemson was forced to punt. Clemson didn't score until 9:08 left in the game when a 44-yard reception by Joseph Ngata and a defensive pass interference penalty set up a 22-yard field goal by B.T. Potter, helping the Tigers avoid their first shutout since 2003. - Georgia/AP College Football

Auburn had two or three of the best wideouts Georgia will play this season when "you start talking about vertical speed, releases," Smart said on his Thursday night radio show. Well, the best of those wideouts, Seth Williams didn't catch his first pass u ntil early in the third quarter despite being targeted four times in the first half. Mark Webb ended Bo Nix's streak of passes without an interception at 251 with a pick at the end of the third quarter. Only Clemson's Trevor Lawrence was longer. Auburn's longest pass play of the night went for 20 yards despite Georgia losing preseason All-American safety Richard LeCounte in the second quarter to targeting."Man, they played great," inside linebacker Monty Rice said. "You had one or two pass interf erences, but those are aggressive penalties and we'll take those. They did a phenomenal job at executing the game plan that our coaches put in place for us." Junior Christopher Smith stepped in to join sophomore Lewis Cine at safety when LeCounte was los t for the game. Nix completed 21 of 41 passes for 177 yards and an interception. LeCounte and cornerback Eric Stokes clamped down on Anthony Schwartz on a third-down incompletion in the first quarter. - Athens Daily Banner
