Georgia makes College Football Playoff history in 1st half of Orange Bowl vs. Michigan
Published:
The semifinal matchup between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Georgia was supposed to be the best matchup this postseason. Instead, Michigan is laying an egg against Georgia on both sides of the ball as they went into halftime with a 27-3 deficit.
There were many questions on the efficiency of the offense for Georgia, led by former walk-on quarterback Stetson Bennett. Georgia, however, is having a record-breaking performance against the fourth-ranked scoring defense of Michigan.
Georgia has scored in each of their first five drives of the game thus becoming the first-ever team to score on its first five drives in a playoff game.
