UGA Football: National Championship Game Joint Presser – Kirby Smart and Nick Saban

The offense was rolling. The trick play worked to perfection. The defense was dominant in stretches and difficult to handle throughout.
Playing like the aggressive and assertive bunch of Bulldogs that it has been for most of this stellar season, No. 3 Georgia jumped on No. 2 Michigan early and never let the Wolverines get their teeth into the game Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
The final score of the Capital One Orange Bowl was 34-11, and that margin might not truly reflect the one-sided nature of this College Football Playoff semifinal game. Georgia (13-1) scored the first five times the offense had the ball — three touchdowns and two field goals — while the defense controlled the line of scrimmage throughout, produced three turnovers, and didn’t surrender a touchdown until the game’s closing minutes.
“We came in here and we wanted to play our game,” said nose tackle Jordan Davis, who had one of the defense’s seven tackles for loss.
