Georgia fans are hoping the Bulldogs’ can win back-to-back college championships. In 2021, UGA won its first national championship since 1980 when the Bulldogs defeated the University of Alabama 33-18.

“If you want it, go to work,” said Bennett III. “I graduated in 1996 from the University of Georgia and I’ve been a season ticket holder since that day. So, I’m not just here as a father, I’m here as a fan. To get to see not only Georgia reach the pinnacle but to have your son there is special.”
