LOS ANGELES — Cigars. Pics with Matthew Stafford. It was a wild scene as the Bulldogs celebrated their second-straight national championship.

The Bulldogs came away with a 65-7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs. Georgia outgained TCU by 401 yards. It was the most points ever scored in a national championship game and the 58-point margin of victory was the most ever in a bowl game.

After the game, Georgia coach Kirby Smart got emotional in speaking about what winning at Georgia means to him. He’s now won two national championships at his alma mater.

“The University of Georgia meant so much to me,” Smart said. “I’ll never forget the speech I heard Billy Payne give and how much Georgia meant. He met his wife there. And he gave back to the University of Georgia every way possible.

“And then when you say all he wants to do is give back to a university that gave to him, I wouldn’t be who I am today without the University of Georgia. I was lucky to go to get a chance to go to the University of Georgia. And I want to give back to a place that has meant so much to my life and to my family’s life and has given so much to us.”

Georgia will do plenty of celebrating in the days to come, with the Bulldogs likely having a celebration this weekend to honor the team.

Smart also ribbed Bennett with regard to his celebration from last year’s title game. He famously drank from a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle after the win last season.

But the Georgia coach gushed about what Bennett and multiple members of the defense meant to him. Bennett, Chris Smith, Jalen Carter and Kelee Ringo got the equivalent of a curtain call. During the fourth quarter.

“That moment with the timeouts, seeing Stetson and those defensive players – you don’t see what they sacrifice,” Smart said. “You don’t see Bullard, when his shoulder comes out and he won’t put on a black jersey, and you’re, like, you can’t go, Bullard. And he won’t come out of practice. And he’s still hitting people.

“And it means a ton to me when they sacrifice like that for our university.”

Georgia becomes the first team to win back-to-back national championships in the College Football Playoff era. The Bulldogs are also just the third team to go 15-0 in the College Football Playoff era.

Details regarding a celebration in Athens will be announced at a later date. For now, you can watch videos of Georgia celebrating on the field and with the College Football Playoff trophy.
