Seventy-five years have passed since Georgia last played in the Rose Bowl. That was the only previous time in program history that the Bulldogs played in the postseason game dubbed "The Granddaddy of them All." The fact that Georgia has returned over seven decades later is an historical moment for a program that hasn’t had the opportunity to travel West often for a bowl game.
Adding to the importance is the fact that this game is for a berth in the College Football Playoff national championship game. Georgia will take on Oklahoma at 5 p.m. Monday in Pasadena, California, which also marks the first time these two schools will ever have played each other.
