Inside the numbers of Georgia’s record-breaking 63-3 win over Florida State

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Georgia set what seemed to be an unbreakable record with its 65-7 demolition of TCU in the CFP Championship Game last Jan. 10,

That mark only lasted 354 days.

UGA’s 63-3 thrashing of Florida State sets the new mark for the largest margin of victory in any bowl or National Championship game in college football history.

Naturally, that also breaks the record for the biggest blow out in Orange Bowl history, erasing Alabama’s 55-point win over Syracuse in 1953.

But the Dawgs set or tied seven other records of its own bowl records on Saturday including, breaking a school record for first downs in any game, bowl or otherwise

Here is the list.
