Georgia’s win Monday night was one for the record books. The Bulldogs put up 65 points, tied for the most ever against an AP Top-5 opponent. The 58-point margin of victory was the largest in any bowl game all-time, as Georgia out-gained TCU by 401 yards, the largest margin in a BCS or College Football Playoff Championship Game.
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett and defensive back Javon Bullard earned MVP honors on the night. Bennett threw for 304 yards on 18-of-25 passing with four touchdowns while also adding 39 yards and two touchdowns rushing. He was responsible for six touchdowns, tying Joe Burrow’s mark from the 2020 National Championship Game for the most-ever. Meanwhile, Bullard was a part of three turnovers with two interceptions.
The Bulldogs will return to Athens and are expected back in the Classic City on Tuesday night.
