It looked like at the beginning of the game Bennett was going to have another tough game against Bama. But he seemed to gain confidence as the game wore on.
I think that blocked FG was the turning point of the game. If Bama scores a TD on that long drive, I think they would have broken Georgia, but the blocked FG completely switched the momentum.
Can you believe it? I went to sleep at the end of the 3rd quarter, when the score was 13-9 in what seemed to be a defensive struggle.
Then, the fireworks started.

I don’t watch much UGA, Buckeyes fan here. At the beginning of the game, I thought Bennett was going to choke. I thought: That’s the best they could find for QB? Then when he fumbled the ball deep in their own territory in the 4th, I thought that was it.
UGA showed lots of character hanging in and winning. And their defense played as advertised this time.
Glad Georgia won and happy for Bennett- but lets be serious- players like Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt choosing to return to school rather than opt for the NFL had a much larger impact on UGA winning the title.
Reminiscent of Clellin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence surprising everyone and returning to Clemson for one more season to win a national title- which they did.
btw- turning point of the game was when Jameson Williams went down with the knee injury early. He makes a lot of those catches the Bama receivers were dropping in the second half.
Some sports guy on the radio said the other conferences should be able to put together an all-star team...to play against the _____ SEC team for the championship.
