Georgia remains undefeated because the Bulldogs never gave up while rallying from two-touchdown deficits in each half for a thrilling College Football Playoff semifinal 42-41 victory over Ohio State that ended early Sunday.
Stetson Bennett capped No. 1 Georgia’s final comeback with a 10-yard, last-minute scoring pass to Adonai Mitchell for the Peach Bowl victory over No. 4 Ohio State. The win gives the Bulldogs a shot at their second straight national title."Our guys are extremely resilient," Smart said. "... I had no doubt our team would come out fighting."
"That probably was the most fun game I’ve ever played in my life," said Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, who threw four touchdown passes. "It just sucks it comes down like that.""If we’re going to win these games we can’t give up those big, explosive plays," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. "I looked around and there were just a bunch of determined strong stares from all the dudes," Bennett said of the huddle before the drive. "It gave me confidence."
Stroud’s second scoring pass, a 16-yarder to Harrison, gave the Buckeyes a 21-7 lead. Stroud escaped pressure on the play before passing to a diving Harrison in the end zone. The timeout may have saved Georgia's comeback hopes. The Buckeyes then had to punt, and on Georgia's next play Bennett threw the 76-yard scoring pass to Smith.
Day said Harrison was placed in concussion protocol following a big hit in the end zone from Georgia’s Javon Bullard, who initially was called for targeting. Following a review, officials removed the targeting call.
