INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Georgia Bulldogs limited the TCU Horned Frogs to 152 yards passing in their dominant 65-7 win in the College Football Playoff championship. Led by sophomore defensive back Javon Bullard, who had two interceptions and one fumble recovery to earn defensive most valuable player honors, Georgia’s secondary bounced back after struggling in the Peach Bowl against Ohio State. TCU’s top receiver, Quentin Johnston, was held to one reception for three yards.
