Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett accounted for six touchdowns (four passing, two rushing) in his final college game as the Bulldogs outclassed TCU 65-7 to win their second consecutive national title.
“As simple as it is, just one last huddle with the guys,” said Bennett, who finished his college career with a 29-3 record. “That was special, coming off and seeing coach [Kirby] Smart. That was really cool, and I appreciate that.”
Georgia’s 65 points are the most ever scored in a National Championship game. Kirby Smart’s squad is also the first school to win back-to-back titles since Alabama in 2011 and 2012, a more impressive feat considering the Bulldogs lost five eventual first-rounders from last year’s team to the NFL Draft.
