The Oklahoma Sooners face the Georgia Bulldogs in the Rose Bowl for the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 2. Here are five things Sooner fans should know about the Bulldogs ahead of the contest:
1. The Bulldogs have the best defense Oklahoma has faced
The Sooners have faced a really good defense three times this season and fared well each time. Oklahoma put 31 points on Ohio State in Columbus, scored 38 against TCU in Norman and then hung 41 on the Horned Frogs in the Big 12 Championship Game. All those scoring outputs were far above what the opposing defense gave up on average this season.
