The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs scored on their first six drives and dominated No. 3 Texas Christian University 65-7 to win their second straight College Football Playoff championship game Monday night in Inglewood, Calif.
In the convincing win, Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback Stetson Bennett passed four touchdowns and ran two more to lead the Bulldogs (15-0), who became the first team to win back-to-back national titles since Alabama in 2011 and 2012.
Bennett finished 18 of 25 with 304 passing yards in his last collegiate competition. He left the game at 13:25 in the fourth quarter.
Georgia built a 38-7 lead at halftime and scored the final 28 points before the break after TCU’s Max Duggan, Heisman Trophy runner-up, scored a touchdown that put it at 5:45 in the first quarter to 10- 7 brought.
The Bulldogs controlled the game and the clock at halftime, had the ball for nearly 19 of the first 30 minutes and beat the Horned Frogs (13-2) by 354 yards for just 121 yards.
The attack continued into the second half until Georgia head coach Kirby Smart effectively fought off the dogs and began using more second-team players in the fourth quarter. By then it was 52-7.
Georgia’s Ladd McConkey, a sophomore wide receiver, had two touchdown grabs, including a wide-open 37-yard reception that yielded the first six of the Bulldogs’ 55 straight points.
Sophomore tight end Brock Bowers, the National Player of the Year at his position, had one touchdown catch in his seven receptions and 152 yards receiving.
