This game is a toss up, at least that’s what the betting markets think. Although ESPN FPI gives the Horned Frogs a slight advantage, the game is currently a pick’em.
TCU quarterback, a Texas A&M transfer, Kenny Hill will likely prove to be the deciding factor in this game. He’s had an up and down season highlighted by a 15:13 touchdown to interception ratio. If “Good Kenny” comes to play TCU will have a chance to move the ball against a Georgia defense that’s already won a game on it’s own this season. The Bulldog defense scored the only touchdown in the program’s 2016 signature win against the No. 9 Auburn Tigers.
If “Bad Kenny” shows up this game will be over at the half time whistle. The key for the Horned Frogs will the rushing game, led by Kyle Hicks and Kenny Hill. Georgia struggled to contain Joshua Dobbs, so an effective zone read could be TCU’s best weapon.
The Georgia offense hasn’t been spectacular by any means, but it has been good enough to keep them in games. Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason hasn’t been anything special, but the running attack of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel has been down right frightening. Both possess breakaway speed and rush for at least 4.8 yards per carry. TCU has surrendered 21 rushing touchdowns this year.
