Can the Buckeyes contain the Dawgs’ dominant tight end duo of Darnell Washington and Brock Bowers? RJ_Writes breaks down the Peach Bowl
bring to the table. Both teams entered the season at No. 2 and No. 3 in the country in the team talent composite. Georgia obviously cashed in on its potential last season with a national championship and another undefeated season to date. The Buckeyes, conversely, are still recovering from the sting of the loss to Michigan that they’re tired of talking about.
He may get the ball sparingly, but that’s only because of what Georgia has in its other tight end, Bowers. If Washington were the Dawgs’ only tight end, they would be more than O.K. on offense, but Bowers adds a truly unique gear to what UGA can do. Whereas Washington overwhelmingly lines up on the line of scrimmage, Bowers is actually more likely to be lined up as a slot receiver or even as a conventional wideout, where he offers a significant matchup nightmare against even larger cornerbacks.
“I think most of the offense circles around [Washington], because he’s basically a sixth lineman that can run routes and catch balls,” Bowers said. “He’ll go road grade anybody in front of them, but he can also have the finesse to go in and grab it off someone’s head.” “[The offensive linemen are] athletes, bro. They do a good job of staying in front of you. That’s something we got to take note of going into the game. They’re a bunch of athletes. Their footwork shows that much,” Ohio State defensive lineman Zach Harrison said. “They do a great job of mirroring guys, especially the pass game. They’ve got good punches, and they do a good job of getting their hands on you and trying to control the blocks.
