ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s proud defense has allowed a combined 71 points in its two postseason games, including its 42-41 last-minute win over Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinal. That’s a humbling and somewhat shocking development. The Bulldogs led the nation in scoring defense while winning last season’s national championship and were ranked second entering this postseason. Georgia is looking for improvement against high-scoring TCU in Monday night’s national title game.
