Georgia football: 6 exciting takeaways from the national title victory

The Georgia football secondary redeemed themselves in the national title game

Georgia football’s weakest position was their secondary, but that group redeemed themselves on Monday night.

The Dawgs’ secondary recorded two interceptions, including Kelee Ringo’s pick-six to win the game, and they finished with eight pass breakups.

When Georgia played Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, the Dawgs recorded five but no turnovers.

William Poole redeemed himself from getting burned repeatedly in Atlanta as he recorded two pass breakups on Monday night. Christopher Smith also earned two pass breakups in the big game. Lewis Cine, Ringo, Nakobe Dean and Jordan Davis all recorded one pass breakup.

It’s wild to see that number against an opponent like Alabama. The Dawgs didn’t let off the throttle even with their two top wideouts out with injuries. Instead, they pounced on the Tide’s inexperienced receivers and made sure to prevent big plays.

Only two passes went 40-plus yards, which is a significant improvement from the SEC Championship Game.

This group proved themselves on the biggest stage in college football, and they sealed the deal the same way they started the season with a pick-six.

Georgia needed their secondary to come up big and contain Alabama’s explosive offense to win a championship, and thankfully the Dawgs did that. This secondary group should be proud of themselves and know they helped make it happen.
