Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett may have said it best just past midnight, a few minutes after No. 3 Georgia knocked off No. 1 Alabama, 33-18, on Monday night to win the 2021 College Football Playoff national championship.
During his TV interview on the field inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Bennett, looking more than a little overwhelmed at what the Bulldogs had just done, said: “Good Lord. Wow.”
That about sums it up, right?
For the first time since that legendary 1980 season of Dooley, Walker, Belue-to-Scott, Woerner and so many more, the Georgia Bulldogs are national champions. It didn’t come easy, not at the end. But nothing truly special comes easy.
ATHENS, Ga. – The University of Georgia will celebrate the Bulldogs’ 2021 National Championship on Saturday, January 15 in a ceremony at Sanford Stadium.
Gates open at Noon. A parade down Lumpkin Street to Sanford Stadium will start at 12:30 with a Dawg Walk at 1 p.m., and a formal program beginning at 2 p.m.
All tickets are complimentary and will be available to season ticket holders and students Tuesday, January 11 – Wednesday, January 12 at 5 p.m. via an online request form. Remaining tickets will be available to the general public on Thursday, January 13 – Friday, January 14.
All regular gameday procedures will be followed with campus opening up to visitors on Saturday at 7 a.m.
Details will be forthcoming on GeorgiaDogs.com and via UGAAA social media channels.
Back home 😎🏆#GoDawgs #NationalChampionship pic.twitter.com/CugnYuLsUq

INDIANAPOLIS — Kelee Ringo intercepted a pass and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown with 54 seconds remaining to put the finishing touches on a stellar defensive effort that helped lift No. 3 Georgia to a 33-18 win over No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
For the Bulldogs, the national championship is the program’s first since the undefeated 1980 season. This Georgia squad went through the regular season without a loss, only to fall to Alabama 41-24 in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 4. Georgia bounced back in the Orange Bowl playoff semifinal with a dominating 34-11 win over No. 2 Michigan, and on Monday the Bulldogs outscored Alabama 27-9 in the second half to win the championship.
