With Georgia on the verge of claiming its second straight national title, coach Kirby Smart pulled his offensive starters with 13:25 to play in the fourth quarter.
The top-ranked Bulldogs dominated No. 3 TCU from the early going en route to building a commanding 52–7 lead going into the final frame. After a short run by backup running back Branson Robinson, Smart took a timeout to allow Stetson Bennett, tight end Brock Bowers, receiver Ladd McConkey and the rest of the first-team offense to leave the field one last time.
UGA fans showered Bennett and Co. with a raucous standing ovation as they trotted to the sidelines, where Smart was the first to greet his senior quarterback.
