The Georgia Bulldogs Football team beat the Texas Christian Horned Frogs 65-7 on Monday night, making the Dawgs the 2022 College Football Playoff National Champions for the second year in a row. The championship game was played at a neutral location— SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Georgia was in the lead the entire game, resulting in a margin of victory of 58 points, the greatest in a College Football Playoff game.
“I thought they had a chance,” said Zeke Palermo, a third-year UGA student studying sports media. He continued, “I was proven wrong about TCU and Georgia. During the game, I thought TCU was better than they were.”
He added that the championship game was “pretty one-sided for really all but five minutes.”
Palermo and his roommates were decked out in Georgia gear ready to watch the game from their apartment in Athens.When the UGA victory was secured, they “danced and laughed and had a good time,” together.
Palermo described the experience of witnessing his home team win two CFP National Championship titles as “really cool,” citing his appreciation for football and for sports history.
“It’s one of those things like, I was there,” Palermo said after watching the Georgia Bulldogs beat Texas Christian University 65-7 on Monday night in the National Championship game. “It was, for fact, historic.”
