pest control report shock what's the uh what's the atmosphere on the sideline i'll tell you the atmosphere inside the locker room was really good one of the things that kirby smart mentioned was he say hey i feel a little doubted i feel like we're getting a little disrespected so there's a little chip on the shoulder these dogs as they come out this locker room he said one they want to do is play a physical for 60 minutes but they said they doubt it they feel good i think they're excited but there's definitely a chip on the shoulder all right shock thanks very much so michigan will be delivering the kick with their lou groza award winner jake moody the senior from northville michigan will kick it uh in a traditional setting it would be left to right but in this setting he's kicking it towards us kind of back deep for georgia is kenny mcintosh on the goal line on the far hash and that's the direction the ball will go it'll hang high come down returnable mcintosh from the seven to the 10 to the 15 to the 20 right into the pile and down right there at the 20-yard line maybe an inch or two shy of that but frederick van praan the center up over the football stetson bennett the quarterback samir white in the backfield first and ten from the 20 for the dogs hand off first carry samir straight up the gut and he booms close to a first down i think he got it actually or maybe they're going to bring it back a yard shy he got nine straight up the hash second one for georgia just underway here in miami in the orange ball play fake and a throw out to a.d mitchell caught at the 36 by mitchell he veers inside the numbers and then back out and they'll bring him down a ton of room for a.d to catch that three tight ends in the formation for georgia pass play for bennett he's going to go left to the sideline reaching and catching brock bowers up high deep in michigan territory on the near sideline there's the sec player of the year doing his thing way downfield he's been match-up problems all year long but i'll tell you give the georgia offensive line credit right there that play took a long time to develop stetson able to stand in the pocket took a pretty big hit at the end of it in the red zone down on the far end of the field bennett gonna take the snap throw it to brock bowers to the right time this time as they set up a screen on the far hash and brower's bowers rather makes the catch down the line best 11 29 on the clock here in the first quarter bennett under center zameer in the backfield stretch handoff white straight ahead running powers into the pile and inside the 10 to the nine and from this angle looks like he got the first down well scott the dogs flipped the formation there we had tripp's bunch to our right moved everybody before the snap to the left it created all kinds of confusion in the on the michigan defensive front they never got set trying to get on the board first here in the orange bowl quickly break the huddle james cooks in the backfield cook play fake from bennett throws it out to bowers wide open left side catches it and into the end zone left corner touchdown as the dogs are on the board first boy how do you leave brock bowers that wide open a busted coverage for michigan brock bowers just ran a simple flat route nobody was close to him nine yard touchdown throw from bennett to bowers that's the 12th reception on touchdowns for brock bowers and that is a new school record for the bulldogs and the freshman tied in from california point after try jack podlesny is coming up six to nothing dogs jackpots kick low but got over the crossbar very low wow loud back on the 21st and 15. mcnamara to throw escapes to pocket he'll run it straight up the hash still on his feet dives forward now up across the 35 and maybe uh across the 40. they're going to mark it back around the 38. for michigan they trail 7 to nothing here in the first quarter shotgun snap to mcnamara hands off to haskins hit on the left edge as he tries to turn the corner outside the numbers and that was quite a pop out on the perimeter haskins fourth in the big ten in rushing this season picked up three there third down for mcnamara they throw the ball was tipped i think coming over the line of scrimmage he misses his target the tight end on a crossing route luke shoemaker a senior from connecticut in the college football playoff they go with an empty backfield snap it back mcnamara in the pocket looks to the left throws it in that direction and it's off the hand of the intended receiver eric all the tight end incomplete into the boundaries where the ball ended up hook in the backfield with stetson bennett we bring mcconkey and motion around the quarterback throw it to him in the left flat with blocking mcconkey 45 mcconkey 50 near sideline they wrestle him out of bounds near the midfield strike hook deep in the backfield seven yards back stetson stretch handoff james cook beers right big hole cook straight down the middle one man to beat he's going to tackle him around the legs around the 30 or so there are huge gaping holes we did it right there massive hole for cook to run through down to the 29-yard line a gain of 21. warren mcclendon with a key block on that right side georgia goes quickly pump fake bennett throws it off left flat to cook cook at the 30. 25 and a man goes low and cuts him down at the knees a lot of screen passes a lot of things out on the edges bennett going to take it under center pitch it out to zameer running wide to the right with blocking on that side and michigan played it well all the way to the boundary mcintosh the lone setback with uh stetson bennett in the shotgun snap it back hand it off to kenny mack with blocky he'll throw it into the end zone touchdown touchdown kenny mack threw it to a.d mitchell he was wide open in the michigan end zone touchdown georgia boy kenny mack threw that ball before a.d mitchell ever got out of his break he looks like he's been playing quarterback for years at the highest level we've seen michigan do that on tape throughout the year a little trickeration to the dogs payoff [Music] mitchell was so wide open it was just a matter of all right get my hands around the football don't drop it don't drop it he subs in periodically for mcnamara out of the shotgun takes the snap hands it off runs into the pile haskins tries to bounce out to his right but he takes white shirts with him those silver britches wouldn't let go asking's gonna lose a yard on the play i think no he got one yard excuse me third down and five is the down and distance balls on the michigan 30. it's 14 to nothing georgia here such a quick route he was able to get the football out of his hands snap to mcnamara in the shotgun a play fake with time now i think he'll go down in a pile behind a massive humanity let's see if we can see who came out of the stack it was robert beale that got the sack and jalen carter quarterback went down i couldn't see anything all of his linemen were still in front of him from this angle you can't see anything well that's because we just pushed the offensive line back into the lap of mcnamara he had nowhere to go a tremendous push right up the middle and nice coverage in the secondary by georgia's defense second down 16 balls back on the 30 for michigan they lost six on that play mcnamara back to throw pass batted down back in the pocket kway walker the linebacker from corneal zipped in from the edge to get on their own 30. third and extra long they'll empty out the set run a man in motion to the left and throw it to him in the left flat and cora makes the catch but wow what speed from the kobe dean who hustled to make the stop out on that left edge goes down shortly after he makes the grab balls on the 28-yard line he lost two and it's fourth down and 18 for michigan quorum came all the way across the formation there in motion to run that swing pass nacobi dean ran right there with them hutchinson and a nice block by donaire washington pushing him backwards this time hutchinson on the right side and he jumps early dogs with a free play bennett will hang it up for jermaine burton he makes the catch deep downfield on the sidelines no he's out of bounds caught the football but couldn't get the feet in bounds on the georgia sideline hey fellas i love what we've done on first down well i think we've kept them off balance they've we got stuff going to the outside we got a tall sweep she got going inside and another little nugget the touchdown by kenny mcintosh they said he was over aiding practice on that but he hit it when it count here in the game oh that's good stuff shot thank you third down and three for the dogs we're on our own 32-yard line now they're coming at us play fake from bennett he'll pull it down and throw it and it's caught george pickens on a quick slant from the left side hogs second down to 10 from their own 41 leading 14 to nothing quick snap to bennett throw it out to the left side kieras jackson had a block from marcus rosami jack saint on this near sideline makes the catch and shakes his way up the field close to the 50. snap back to bennett we're going to run it kenny mcintosh looking for room just running down the line to his left looking for open space there wasn't much there they're going to tackle him on the logo first and 10 47 yard line of michigan bennett in the pocket being chased hutchinson coming after him bennett's going to run it breaks a tackle 40 35 cuts oh what's the footwork inside the 30 down to the 26. turner had to tackle him into the secondary and that's why stetson bennett's in the ball game no doubt about it michigan has been hurt throughout the year with quarterbacks running the football great decision there by stetson had quick pressure able to get out then a little shake and bait 21 yards on the run bennett to throw it to the left side he's got some blockers over there zamir white out of the backfield makes the catch runs towards the michigan sideline third down so far in this game cook in the backfield bennett in the shotgun quick throw bennett caught and then dropped and then caught again i think by fitzpatrick but was he in bounds no incomplete 44-yard tri-far hash kicking right the kick is away pod's kick is good 44 yarder jack potlesny converts to make it 17 to nothing georgia good zone so really mixing up the defensive looks we're given michigan mcnamara takes the snap out of the shotgun gonna run it with quorum oh eat him up big jordan davis swallowed him whole behind the line of scrimmage 340 pound body in full motion and chased down the 5 8 shifty running back unfair for a fan that size to be able to run like that just the quickness is uncanny able to scrape down the line of scrimmage just pushing forward constantly moving his legs michigan will change quarterbacks they'll get mccarthy the dual threat guy in the ball game he tries to duel threat aside on the right side but jalen carter and nolan smith the yard they snap it back to mcnamara who check back in the ball game clobbered as he throws a deep ball down the far sideline it's caught down field in one-on-one coverage by roman wilson we're in the second quarter here in the orange bowl play fake mcnamara fakes the reverse now he's going to go down too many fakes nicolby dean nolan smith they've seen that play before for the dogs after an sec championship game where we couldn't get into the offensive backfield not the case right now everything were dialing up were able to wreak havoc in the offensive backfield into the field mcnamara in the shotgun looks to his left looks right down the middle steps up avoids the rush splits our defense with a uh scramble inside the 25 i don't know how he got away from the kobe dean who was breathing down his neck in the pocket moving to our left far end of the field mcnamara to throw caught on the right edge by the tight end all eric all the junior from fairfield ohio to get on the board for the wolverines there's the snap and the hold and the kick is away and the kick is good back in the shotgun with samir white in the backfield snap to stetson he throws caught brock bowers turned around face the line and scrimmage caught it at the 31 they hit him right there they've got a man shadowing bowers to the near side from our vantage point empty set bennett in the pocket gonna throw a deep ball to james cook one on one over the shoulder caught it 30 25 20. they tackle him around the 15 yard line coulson the junior colson the freshman linebacker from brentwood tennessee had to catch james cook after a long long pass play from bennett into the massey ferguson red zone down to the 15-yard line dogs are up ready to snap the football bennett's trying to get him to hurry georgia going tempo here after a long gainer quick snap to bennett goes for the end zone they're holding they're holding all they were holding jermaine burton and no flag two guys sitting there looking right at it in white stetson claps his hands they snap it bennett to throw down the middle caught by mcconkey running across makes the catch at the 10. they drag him down and that's dax hill just inside the far hash kicking in this direction to our right kick is away by jackpot it's good into the net actually i think he went over the net that was a nice high kick from jackpot lesney three more for the dogs getting late here in the second quarter haskins takes the carry and will try to bounce down the line to his right louisiana gonna wrap him up first they never got him to the turf they're on 27. mcnamara in the shotgun pressure from everywhere steps up gets away but not from nolan smith number four dragged him down if he tried to step up in the pocket and take off smith with the tackle at the where are they going to spot him down around the 27 or so for just relentless pressure right there from nolan smith between the 12 and 13 to receive the snap kicking away dogs come after it almost got it with marcus rosenby jack saint but robin's punt is a long kick hunt rosemary jack saint was oh so close to getting a hand on that ball as he came in uh from the left edge trying to rush the punt and get a hand on that football set for the dogs bennett will take the snap and throw it to his left it's complete down the line george's offensive line trying to move the pile it's still upright no whistles yet they've moved the pile it was it was kenny mcintosh in the middle of the pile couldn't see who caught the ball he was just swallowed up by huge bodies over there bennett's in the backfield with james cook snapped the bent at the quarterback steps to his right hands up a long pass deep caught burton 25 so long 10-5 touchdown jermaine burton he's going to soak it up in the end zone as he stands and welcomes the cheers of the georgia fans on this back end zone and what a throw from stetson bennett he got flushed out of the pocket and almost just heaved it up now here in south florida 27-3 georgia landed on michigan here with a minute 38 to go in quarter number two what a series you talk about the importance of the end of the first half and how critical it is to hold defensively take some shots and opportunities if you get them offensively but eliminate that two for one with a hand on the ground and chanting tyndall here comes tyndall from the edge mcnamara gets the ball out we'll throw it is intercepted by kendrick kendrick coming across the way backtracked michigan thought there was holding or interference on the far sideline wanted to go to roman wilson clemson transfer does his magic and gives the dogs the ball at the michigan 49 yard line he was running back this way to try to find a clear path to the end zone he backtracked from the point where he intercepted the football but the dogs will take it there's still time on the clock and a lot of it with a minute 28 to go georgia's got it on the michigan 49 that's the case ruling on the field is an interception during the return personal foul targeting number 29 return team that 15-yard penalty will be enforced from the end of the run number 29 has been disqualified paul georgia after the penalty and will have the ball via the interception at our own 36. we're going to hand it off run it straight up the gut between the tackles and that is zamir white safety to maybe take one more shot third down and two from the 44 will run it again with 13 seconds to go dogs ran it in there with zeus once more oh they work on the logo they'll spot the ball down at midfield right at the 50. hawkins the tackle the free safety and barrett one of their edge rushers five seconds to go four dogs will take one more snap they fake the pitch and throw a pass lob it over the head of zamir white and that will be the last play of the half as the clock has hit triple zero completion to win the quarter and the first half but what a half it was for the sec runners-up georgia 27 michigan three halfway through first and ten michigan on the 25 we'll watch it from the piedmont healthcare radio booth michigan will run it on the first play straight into a pile of bodies as we've seen numerous times haskins out of the backfield haskins has only rushed for 13 yards tonight mcnamara tries to escape the pocket tries to leak out to his right but chased down by trayvon walker and others third down at 16. mcnamara claps his hands we jump a little bit i don't think we're offsides he'll throw it and wrestled away by the tight end over the middle is eric all first off number 88 defense that penalty is declined result of the play first down now they've had a couple of gash plays snap to mcnamara handoff haskins this time he won't get far he runs it left tackle and left guard back inside the piedmont healthcare radio booth third down at seven from the 28th from michigan and they'll get the ball between the hash marks to eric all the tight end on the pass play by the wolverines jay mccarthy trying to get in the end zone for the first time tonight dogs defense has other plans mcnamara throws to the end zone intercepted again kendrick in the end zone steps out of the back corner that'll be a touch back for georgia's second pick of the game for darien kendrick mcnamara thought his receiver was going to continue to the back of the end zone on a corner route his receiver just stopped kendrick goes there and an easy pick for him cook shifts from left to right behind bennett in the shotgun stetson takes the snap hands at the cook again runs on an angle to the left into a crowd of bodies there hutchinson was won third down for the dogs from our own 22 snap to bennett passing situation now he's going to run runs out of the pocket they're chasing from behind he'll throw it back across his body oh a dangerous bro it just does land incomplete at the bulldogs 40. michigan had a guy reaching for it downfield second 10 from their 40. snapped back to mccarthy looks to his left and throws pass is caught around the 45 or the 46 by cornelius johnson michigan coming in this direction here in our viewpoint hand it off to court he fumbled the football we fumbled it and it looks like george is going to recover there's still a fight for it at the georgia 44 yard line the dogs tried to get on that thing it was wiggling all over the field dogs think they have it is there an official sign first down what do they call first down georgia okay georgia has recovered the fumble third turnover of the game for michigan as coram came through the line he got stripped and the ball went bouncing the kobe dean ripped it out of his arms on our own 44. here we go can we strike again bennett with time to throw looks deep flagged down throws it over the middle oh my goodness what a catch keires jackson with one hand but it might be for naught two flags in the georgia backfield down at the wolverines three fouls on the play both by the offense holding number 69 offense that penalty is decline personal foul face mask number 69 offense that penalty enforced 15 yards from the previous spot still first down split backfield with milton and cook we run cook out to the right they tip a ball to the right side he still catches it cook breaks a tackle at the 32 up the far sideline in front of the michigan bench across the 40 and tackled around the 43 by coulson stetson in the shotgun snap quick throw left to mcintosh screen kenny mack 50. kenny mack 45 kenny back down to the michigan 40 mike morris the defensive end and mcintosh on that nice play from stetson bennett picks up a scanner energy first down all the way down to the michigan they spotted on the 41-yard line great play call there by coach buck and he saw the intense pressure that michigan was putting on to stetson bennett it's to help macintosh go for 18. toss to samir white left side zameer once through the first wave on the near sideline zoos they like that contact at the end here comes the snap gonna move to his left a little dump pass left flat to zeus gets to the sideline that was easy pickings right there 4 11 to go in the third quarter dogs in the massey ferguson red zone toss to cook to the right a sweep with blocking by the tight ends cook slams on the brakes inside the 10. flag comes in from the referee behind the play and that's going to wipe out a game that ended up inside the 10 for the dogs and james cook cook in the backfield james going to get the carry there was a hole at right tackle there's another flag as cook gets jammed up inside the 20 after a gain of maybe a couple they throw him back here comes another flag personal foul chop block number 69 and 19 high low combination 15-yard penalty from the previous spot still first down for nine goes under center this time we'll take it and roll to the right it might be a broken play bennett just running towards the sideline will heave it into the seats third and 22 from the wolverines 28 yard line penalties have hurt us on this possession bennett rolls to the right throws it towards the end zone and broken up on the far sideline down inside the 10 by michigan trying to get it to lad mcconkey 46 yard try near hash kicking left kick is away towards the upright no good missed it to the left and off the slot just time after time mcnamara wants to throw escapes tackled sacked ball is out stripped the michigan fallback on it i think they did i think they were able to recover their fumble they put it on the ground again quarterback one back in the backfield that's edwards mccarthy takes the snap sets and throws complete over the middle to the tight end all we're having trouble getting him on the ground paul and there's the snap to mccarthy looks to his left now going to scramble and roll balls in his right hand he pump fakes and he runs right into kway walker who knocks him back into yesterday holy smokes laid a blow at the 40-yard line he just took the full brunt of that hit from number seven for it was textbook kway walker was out in coverage and actually hiding behind the michigan wolverine he was guarding then threw him away right at the last minute blew up mccarthy during that timeout walk up to most of the guys and even in that defensive huddle and the one thing he said was composure keep our composure 15 minutes away and finish this ball game off no more chippiness he didn't want nothing nobody get thrown out of his ball game but he said the number one thing is stay composed good advice shock thank you very much 27-3 with 15 minutes remaining for michigan now on the georgia 41. mccarthy chased out of the pocket nolan smith going to chase him paul couldn't get his legs stays upright and he throws it almost intercepted out of bounds on the left end of the field he just threw the pass dan jackson was diving as he was running out of space snap to mccarthy here comes pressure he fires across the field too high incomplete over mike sandra still the junior receiver who's 5-10 he needed to be about 7-10 to catch that ball brock bowers now he sets up in the backfield and bennett hole he eludes hinton the rusher and rolls out to his left and tries to scramble for the first down i i think he got it as he crosses the 50 and was able to take a jab step to the right and roll to the left and elude the pass rush and left hitton grabbing it air boy what an athletic move right there justin schaefer was over hit and hitting got inside of him with just a little inside move but pays off on the michigan 48 keep it on the ground run it power football between the tackles offensive line moving blue shirts back and that's samir white kind of scrimmage for georgia cooks in the backfield with bennett who's in the shotgun snap to bennett want to throw on third and short hook it up for cook he's wide open caught 21 15 10 hops into the end zone touchdown james cook a homecoming for cook who's from south florida touchdown dogs what's that i hear hammer and nail and coffin 33-3 dogs lead it was a round of at all stetson been unable to go find him and you're right send this one home stetson got clobbered on the delivery but was still able to deliver the mailman appropriately enough to james cook over 300 yards passing tonight point after try jackpot leslie splits the pipes it's good good boy they ran into a buzz saw tonight j.j mccarthy the freshman in it quarterback throws it into the backfield to his right to quorum who makes the catch around the 18. three to the left excuse me now mccarthy takes the snap and he gets away from walker who had him wrapped up now mccarthy off and running mccarthy in front of the georgia bench crosses midfield and out of bounds here comes the flag and another flag must be a late hit over and all that crowd couldn't see the end of the play the result of the play as the line the game was made after the play was over personal foul illegal blind side block number two offense 15 yard penalty from the dead ball spot it will still be first and ten crews out on that side they work on the near hash from our vantage point snap back in the shotgun mccarthy moves to his right throws the ball same spot and this time flag down but pass is caught i think yeah he caught it anyway and there's a flag two flags on the play way pass interference number seven defense that penalty is declined first down let's see if he's really going to catch for a first down the previous play is under further review quarterback quorum to his left mccarthy snapping the shotgun running for his life to the right the kobe takes a swipe at his legs and misses he throws it into the end zone and it is incomplete in the back corner mccarthy in the shotgun man in motion to the far side they throw it to him edwards got to make an open field tackle we miss it but we clobber him at the five kendrick had dan jackson's back jackson missed the open field tackle around the 10 but darion kendrick drilled him out of bounds on the far side at least in this format snap back to bennett going to hand it off we'll run it between the tackles again and that's kendall again milton working his way for positive yards indeed it is snap to bennett and we'll toss it to kenny mcintosh on a sweep to the left he's looking for space bounces out towards the sideline 34-3 michigan from the 50 they'll throw oh my goodness wow chas chambliss just blew up blake quorum right in front of our bench corm's going to have to check out of the ball game he's trying to shake it off as he runs to the michigan sideline wouldn't you know it that's 53 yards on the other side of the field he's got to make that jaunt before he can go down on a knee or anything but man did he get clobbered the result of the play is an incomplete pass personal foul targeting defense using the crown of the helmet 15 yard penalty in the previous spot automatic first down now to mccarthy gonna hang one up near sideline got a man wide open he beat daniel easily and that's a touchdown for uh andrel anthony the freshman receiver running on the georgia sideline had his man beat by about seven or eight yards it looked like it's who successfully do so michigan's gonna go for two here and they're gonna run it into the end zone with hinning a sweep to the left and they get the two played very very well tonight for georgia bennett under center he'll hand it off to dejean edwards big hole dejan dejean at midfield they're trying to tackle him from behind he was trying to stiff arm and edwards just went right up the gut all the way down to the michigan 35-yard line for a big scanner energy first down here late in the ball game did a jabbo even play tonight i don't even recall seeing him uh certainly didn't call his name he would go on a reverse to lad mcconkey sweeping around to the near side hit it to 24. as he hits the ground the ball comes squirting out but he was down gray the cornerback 21 in the shotgun bennett going to take the snap toss it to edwards to his left stay in bounds dejean he goes all the way there they don't get him on the turf i thought he was going down behind the line

never got him to the turf uh had very few tackles for loss george's offensive line had a fine ball game tonight college football congratulations to michigan wolverines had a wonderful season but tonight in this stadium my friends it was time once again to let the big dogs eat and they certainly did to make the first presentation tonight please welcome the president and chair of the orange bowl committee mr jack seiler jack you make the presentation thank you and on behalf of the orange bowl committee the capital one orange bowl in the college football playoff congratulations to both these outstanding institutions on an incredible season how about a round of applause for both teams tonight and now on behalf of the playoff semi-final at the capital one orange ball i am pleased to present head coach kirby smart in the georgia bulldogs with our trophy tonight coach congratulations kirby the red and black confetti is flying the oranges are here coming off of the last few weeks and what you guys had to face what was it that led to such a focused and brilliant dominant performance tonight it's one word for us connection our kids know if we stay connected we're really hard to beat and i thought the focus and concentration over the last couple weeks of practice all our guys did was work and when you're connected we know we're much better together what was an example of that connection you saw in the early part of the game when you really took control well a lot of perimeter blocking you know i thought our wide outs made some plays down the field i thought our offensive line did a tremendous job but when you're selfless outside and your defensive line look at the guys up front that eight blocks so nicolby quay channing could make plays i thought our front controlled the line of scrimmage i thought our offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage that's a total team effort in the playoff era you're taking a team to the championship game for the second time a familiar foe awaits what's the significance of getting back to the title game and having another shot at alabama well when you get back to the title game it's always a big game right regardless of who you're going to play that's one of our sec foes we think we play in the greatest conference in the world we got an opportunity to go play a really good football team in indianapolis and we got all these people over here behind us and we know they're going to be in indy with us so we're bringing all the dog nation with us kirby congratulations terrific performance kirby smart head coach of the dogs champions of the capital one orange bowl now let's honor our players of the game first the capital one orange bowl offensive player of the game the quarterback of the dog stetson bennett stetson over 300 yards terrific offensive performance after what you guys had to deal with the last few weeks and the questions that you faced and handled what's the significance of getting georgia to a national championship game for you you know we don't we don't worry about that in our locker room um each and every day these guys come out there and they work their butts off we knew we were better than what we showed last game um and we just came and worked every single day and i love these dudes man god i love them god what a win what a win what was your what was your favorite moment of this game tonight um probably when cook slipped that linebacker and took it for about 40. now before we started here you almost threw all of the oranges out in the crowd i'm giving you permission now chuck you've completed everything else tonight you might as well complete a few more hey let's bring in kirby save a few for derry and kendrick our defensive player of the game darien kendrick had a couple interceptions tonight darium you guys did not want michigan to get in the end zone they got a late one what was so important about establishing your will and keeping them out until the waning stage of the game i just say just sticking together we always talk about connection each and every day and it's a brotherhood they brought me in when i came in and they never gave up on me and so i worked for them you had the opportunity to play at clemson now you're playing at georgia another opportunity to go and play in a national championship game what does that mean to you throw them away throw them
