The Sports XChange: TCU and Georgia to get defensive in AutoZone Liberty Bowl
The Sports Xchange sports@newtoncitizen.com
Sometimes it’s all about doing what you do best. For TCU and Georgia, two teams coached by former defensive coordinators, defense — especially the end-of-season type — could be the key to victory when they meet in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl on Friday in Memphis, Tennessee.
TCU’s Gary Patterson was defensive coordinator for the Horned Frogs before he moved up to the top spot after the 2000 season. He’ll be coaching in his 14th bowl in 16 seasons for TCU, and his second in Memphis, where he won his first bowl game as a head coach in 2002.
Georgia’s Kirby Smart, a longtime coordinator and disciple of Alabama coach Nick Saban in his first year at the Bulldogs’ helm, knows a little about defense and coaching in bowls as well, even though it’s his initial trip to the postseason as the head coach.
