Georgia Bulldogs Championship Celebration

Last night marked the 8th time a Georgia HS QB has started in the CFB National Championship. It was all Stetson Bennett, passing for over 300 yards in the Dawgs over 65-7 win over TCU.

Coach Kirby Smart shared his emotions with dawgnation.com after the game.

“Sometimes it takes a loss to galvanize, put your team in a spot to win. It did that last year,” Smart said. “And it didn’t take that. I always tell guys, do you have to take a loss to learn? Why? Like, it doesn’t take that to learn that. And this team is special because they didn’t have a flaw.”

According to the article, the 2019 LSU team and the 2018 Clemson team are the only other teams to go 15-0 in the College Football Playoff era. Smart was the defensive coordinator on the 2009 Alabama team that went unbeaten, but the Crimson Tide went 14-0.

Following the game, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and defensive back Kelee Ringo both announced that they will enter the NFL draft.
