College Football Playoffs
Dawgs run wild, beat Sooners 54-48 in Rose Bowl
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
PASADENA,
Calif.
— After ending the first
overtime Rose Bowl, one of
the greatest Granddaddies
of Them All, Sony Michel
was swarmed by Georgia
teammates as he broke down
in tears.
The senior tailback had
gone from possible goat to
all-time hero for Georgia,
sending the Bulldogs to the
national championship game
with a one last burst in a
game full of them.
Michel raced 27 yards
for a touchdown in the
second overtime to give No.
3 Georgia a 54-48 victory
against No. 2 Oklahoma in
the College Football Playoff
semifinal Monday night.
Michel, who had a fumble
in the fourth quarter returned
for a go-ahead Oklahoma
touchdown, ran for 181 yards
and three scores for the Bull-
dogs (13-1), but none bigger
than the last one.
“I made plays. I gave
up plays. My team just had
faith in me,” said Michel,
who did all that damage on
just 11 carries and got a hug
from former Bulldogs great
tailback Garrison Hearst
after scoring the winning
TD. “That’s what this team is
all about. They showed true
character today.”
In the final game of his
great career, Oklahoma’s
Baker Mayfield threw for 287
yards and two touchdowns,
and caught a touchdown
pass that gave the Sooners a
17-point lead with 6 seconds
left in the first half.
But the Heisman Trophy
winner could not get the
Sooners (12-2) into the end
zone in the first overtime
when a touchdown would
have ended the game.
“It’s tough to describe
right now,” Oklahoma coach
Lincoln Riley said of the
loss. “It’s a hell of a college
football game. You know, an
epic Rose Bowl game.”
The Bulldogs will play
either Alabama or Clemson
on Jan. 8 for the national
championship at Mercedes-
Benz Stadium in Atlanta,
about 70 miles from their
campus. After Georgia
made its first trip to the Rose
Bowl since 1943 a rousing,
heart-stopping success, the
Bulldogs will play for their
first national title since 1980.
“We got to get back to
work. It’s not done,” Michel
said. “Now we got to finish.
Let’s just finish this season
off right.”
The 104th Rose Bowl
was also the highest-scoring,
surpassing last year’s 52-49
USC victory against Penn
State. There was a lot more
on the line in this one, the first
CFP game to go to overtime
as well.
After an offside penalty
on Georgia gave Oklahoma
a first down on third-and-five
in the second OT possession,
the Sooners stalled again and

chel’s touchdown in overtime in the Rose Bowl NCAA
college football game against Oklahoma on Monday in
Pasadena, Calif. Georgia won 54-48.
Austin Seibert came out for a
27-yard field goal. Leaping
through the line, Lorenzo
Carter got his outstretched
hand on the kick and the ball
fluttered down short of the
uprights.
Any score would have
ended it for the Bulldogs, and
on the second play Michel
slipped one tackle and was
home free. The Bulldogs
sprinted off the sideline and
toward the corner of the end
zone to mob Michel. Confetti
rained down. Meanwhile,
Mayfield stood motionless
on the sideline for several
seconds, bent over with
his hands on his knees and
head down. Mayfield battled
flu-like symptoms the week
leading into the game, but he
played just fine.
“I can’t believe it’s over.
It’s been a wild ride,” said
Mayfield with a hoarse voice
before he started to cry.
Michel and his roommate
and running mate Nick
Chubb were awesome for
Georgia. Chubb ran for 145
yards and two touchdowns,
including a 2-yarder on a
direct snap with 55 seconds
left in regulation to tie it. The
Sooners had taken a 45-38
lead when Steven Parker
returned Michel’s fumble
for a TD with 6:52 left in the
fourth.
“I told him that he had to
keep running and trying to hit
the corner,” Chubb said. “We
had a long game and after the
fumble, we went down and

Bowl NCAA college football game Monday in Pasade-
na, Calif.
he made up for it with that
run to win the game.”
Both teams settled for field
goals in the first overtime.
First, Georgia’s Rodrigo
Blankenship hit from 38 to
make it 48-45.
Then it was Mayfield’s
turn. A touchdown would
have sent the Sooners to
Atlanta, but on a third-and-2
from the 17 Georgia
All-America
linebacker
Roquan Smith nailed Jordan
Smallwood a yard short of
the first down.
Seibert kicked a 33-yarder
and the Bulldogs and Sooners
played on, but not for much
longer.
NFL
Seahawks spend New Year’s lamenting what went wrong
By TIM BOOTH
Asociated Press
RENTON, Wash. — An
unfamiliar situation played
out inside the Seattle
Seahawks headquarters on
Monday with packing boxes
being filled and memorabilia
getting autographed far
earlier than any season in
recent memory.
For five straight seasons,
the Seahawks didn’t just play
in January. They won at least
one playoff game in each of
those seasons.
It made Monday’s site of
clearing out lockers at the
conclusion of the regular
season jarring for those who
became accustomed of only
knowing playoff football
during Seattle’s five straight
years in the postseason.
“At the end of the day it’s
just disappointing. I think
everybody is disappointed,”
Seattle tight end Luke
Willson said.
“The locker room we
thought we had was pretty
special. But it didn’t work
out and I think everyone is at
a loss for words.”
Only five Seattle players
on the active roster from
Sunday’s
finale
were
around the previous time
the Seahawks didn’t make
the postseason in 2011. At
that time, Seattle was an
ascending franchise.
The tweaks and changes
made by Pete Carroll and
John Schneider were starting
to take form by the end of the
2011 season, and the drafting
of Russell Wilson and Bobby
Wagner before the start of the
2012 season was a catalyst
in Seattle’s rise to being a
mainstay in the postseason.
So is this 9-7 season and
missing the playoffs the start
of a backslide and the first
step in a major rebuild?
“We want to obviously get
better because the trend that
we are on right now is not
good,” Seattle wide receiver
Doug Baldwin said.
Universally the Seahawks
believe they’re not that far
away from still being among
the elite in the NFC. Three
of their losses were by a
combined eight points and in
part were due to kicking woes
from Blair Walsh, including
his missed 48-yarder in the
final minute on Sunday in the
26-24 loss to Arizona.
The 42-7 blowout loss
to the division champion
Rams was the only game
Seattle lost by more than one
possession.
Seattle also dealt with
injuries to critical pieces
unlike any season in the
past, most notably Richard
Sherman and Kam Chan-
cellor being lost for the
season because of injuries
suffered in Week 9.
“This just feels bad
because we’re a quality team
and we’ve got experienced
guys, we’ve got tons of Pro
Bowlers, a great franchise
quarterback and so we
don’t want to be in this
position when you’re team
is so talented,” said Seattle
linebacker K.J. Wright, one
of the few holdovers on that
2011 team.
“It feels much, much
worse this time because in
2011 we had no business
being in the playoffs.”
The occasional struggles
on defense this season could
be explained in part due
to injuries. The offensive
inefficiency — especially in
the first half of games — was
a puzzling issue that clouded
Seattle all season.
Russell Wilson led the
NFL in touchdown passes
with 34, including 19 in
the fourth quarter, but in
many games was awful
in the first half. Wilson’s
first-half passer rating was
78.1 — compared to 111.9
in the second half — and in
10 games this season Seattle
scored seven or fewer points
in the first half.
Much of the blame for the
first-half problems has fallen
on offensive coordinator
Darrell Bevell. Baldwin
launched into an impas-
sioned defense of Bevell on
Monday. While not dropping
any names, Baldwin made
clear the issues with Seattle’s
offensive were not on the
play caller.
“It’s not play calling. It’s
not play calling. We go into
a game knowing what the
defense is going to give us,
situations we’re going to be
in. We don’t execute as a
team,” Baldwin said.
“Offensively that’s what
we’ve seen time and time
again is we do not execute
the way that we should.
That’s on us as players. You
guys can blame (Bevell) as
much as you want to. Truth is
(Bevell) is not the problem.
Yeah, (I) probably already
said too much.”
Schneider and Carroll will
be facing difficult choices
moving forward because
some of Seattle’s older stars
are also among the more
expensive on the roster.
Seattle was open about
possibly trading Sherman
last offseason.
Earl Thomas will be
going into the final year of
his contract. Michael Bennett
signed an extension before
the end of last season, but is
32 and played most of this
season with a foot injury.
