Council Bluffs native Max Duggan leads TCU against defending champion Georgia Monday night in the title game of the College Football Playoff in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. It is the final game of a career that has seen the former Lewis Central star overcome heart surgery and being demoted as the starter to become a Heisman Trophy finalist.

It also caps a magical season for a Horned Frog team that was picked to finish seventh at Big 12 Media days back in July.
