Home turf: TCU running back Emari Demercado will play his final college game just minutes from where he grew up, as the Horned Frogs face Georgia's Bulldogs in the national championship Monday night at LA's SoFi Stadium.
Coach Sonny Dykes said Miller — who rushed for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns this season — remains questionable for Monday’s game.
Demercado was the first running back to have a 100-yard game against Michigan this season. He had a 1-yard TD run along with a 72-yard carry in the third quarter to set up Max Duggan’s 1-yard sneak. TCU will face a Georgia defense that has not allowed a 100-yard rusher or a touchdown run longer than seven yards.Demercado had only four college offers coming out of Downey High School when he decided to go the junior college route. He had 1,469 scrimmage yards and scored 17 touchdowns for Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo in 2017 when he received an offer from TCU.
Last season, Demercado was TCU’s lone available scholarship running back late in the season and had a 115-yard game against Oklahoma State. With Zach Evans’ transfer to Mississippi, Demercado showed during spring practices that he could be the second running back.“For him to have the year that he’s had, being the two-headed monster in the backfield with him and Kendre, he’s been a huge piece for us.
