Preview: Ohio State seeks its third College Football Playoff semifinal win as an underdog and a berth in the national championship game when it takes on Georgia in the Peach Bowl.
Only one team in college football has scored more points per game than Ohio State this season . Only one team has allowed fewer points per game than Georgia . The Buckeyes have scored 44.5 points per game this year while the Bulldogs have allowed only 12.8, but something will have to give when they meet Saturday in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“Obviously LSU did what they did, and they came into battle and played their game. We just have to go out there and play our game,” Marvin Harrison Jr. said. “We have confidence in ourselves and how we're going to make things work and go out there and compete.
“It's explosive plays, really, what it came down to,” Knowles said. “You have to look at those on an individual basis, determine what the issue was on that particular play, hold myself accountable for it. If it was a problem with the scheme, the players understand it. We deal with those as a defense together, you know, because those are the critical factors in winning the game.
“Really just as a team, I think that's been the real focus of getting better as a team. It's a team game,” Stroud said. “I don't go out there by myself and do it on my own.”Keep An Eye on These GuysEven on a defense full of future NFL players, the clear-cut star is Carter, who some consider the best defensive lineman in all of college football.
A 6-foot-4, 230-pound tight end who is more like a receiver athletically but also a strong blocker, Bowers is a player who Ohio State will need to have eyes on at all times. In addition to his skill as a pass catcher, he’s also been dangerous when used as a runner, gaining 93 yards and scoring three touchdowns on just six total carries this season.
