Stetson Bennett leads Georgia to historic victory over Alabama, wins Heisman Trophy

Georgia's improbable title defense

The Georgia Bulldogs, led by quarterback Stetson Bennett, pulled off one of the most improbable title defenses in college football history, culminating in a thrilling victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff National Championship game.

Despite losing several key players from their championship-winning team, the Bulldogs reloaded and exceeded expectations, finishing the regular season undefeated and earning the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.

In the championship game, Georgia faced a daunting task against the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide, led by Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young. However, Bennett and the Bulldogs' defense rose to the occasion, delivering a dominant performance that earned them a 33-18 victory and their second consecutive national championship.

Bennett's Heisman Trophy triumph

Stetson Bennett's rise from walk-on to Heisman Trophy winner is one of the most inspiring stories in college football history.

The former walk-on quarterback emerged as a leader for the Bulldogs, guiding them to an undefeated regular season and a dominant performance in the College Football Playoff.

Bennett's impressive stats, including 4,127 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions, coupled with his leadership and resilience, earned him the coveted Heisman Trophy, college football's most prestigious individual award.

Georgia's defense shines

While Stetson Bennett's heroics grabbed the headlines, Georgia's defense played a pivotal role in their championship victory.

The Bulldogs' defense, led by All-American defensive tackle Jalen Carter, held Alabama's high-powered offense to just 18 points, their lowest output of the season.

Georgia's defense forced three turnovers, including two interceptions off Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, and recorded seven sacks, disrupting the Crimson Tide's rhythm and contributing to their eventual defeat.

Georgia's historic achievement

Georgia's back-to-back national championships mark a historic achievement for the program and its passionate fan base.

The Bulldogs are the first team to win consecutive national titles since Alabama in 2011 and 2012, and they are the first team to defeat Alabama in consecutive championship games since the Crimson Tide's run from 2011 to 2013.

This victory further cements Georgia's status as one of the top programs in college football and adds another chapter to the storied history of the Bulldogs football program.
