INGLEWOOD, Calif. – “You’ve got nine days to become legendary.”
That was Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s message to his team in the postgame locker room following the Bulldogs’ narrow 42-41 escape of Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Nine days and three time zones later, the Bulldogs officially are legends. They’ll be remembered as one of the greatest teams of all-time.
