TCU has Georgia right where it wants it.

The last time TCU trailed by 31 points in a bowl game they made history.

The Horned Frogs trailed Oregon 31-0 at halftime in the 2016 Alamo Bowl before roaring back behind a heroic performance by fifth-year, walk-on quarterback Bram Kohlhausen.

The Frogs shocked the college football world that night by scoring 31 unanswered points in the second half to tie the game on Jaden Oberkrom’s 22-yard field goal to force overtime. TCU won 47-41 in triple overtime.

TCU remains the only team in the history of college football to rally from such a large halftime deficit. Teams trailing by 31 points are 1 and 530 in the past 15 years.
