Georgia has done it. It may have been differently dominant this season after replacing so many defensive starters, but Kirby Smart’s men reign supreme over the college football universe as national champions yet again. 

The Dawgs made it look easy in their historic 65–7 blowout of TCU in a title game that was basically over at halftime. They join rarified air as repeat national champs and can lay claim to Alabama’s perch as the new standard in college football. Georgia was just better Monday—it doesn’t get much deeper than that. The Dawgs were bigger, stronger and faster than the Horned Frogs, doing everything that Michigan failed to do to end TCU’s magical run.

This designed run was reminiscent of the TD he scored against Ohio State

And this tricky evasion of pressure was all instinct.

Seeing Bennett create with his legs on this night—the culmination of his college career—is another testament to how he’s grown. There is nothing that can be taken away from Stetson Bennett. It doesn’t matter what he may or may not do in the pros, he has been the steady captain of Georgia’s ship on offense and will go down as perhaps the best quarterback in school history. The Dawgs coaching staff gave him a curtain call early in the fourth quarter for a job well done.
