No. 3 Georgia defeats No. 1 Alabama to win first college football championship in 41 years

The Georgia Bulldogs won their first Division I football title since the 1980 season, upsetting the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide 33-18 in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night in Indianapolis.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett completed 17 of 26 passes and threw two touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to their first win over their Southeastern Conference rival since 2007.
“A lot of guys made plays and that’s what this team has been, a collective group of people stepping up when they’re needed,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said.
The game was a rematch of SEC Championship Game on December 4 in Atlanta when the Tide handed the Bulldogs their only loss of the season 41-24.
