The Georgia offense was nearly non-existent for the first quarter in the National Championship game.

All that changed on one play, thanks to a high-arcing, 52-yard strike from quarterback Stetson Bennett to receiver George Pickens.

The play represented only the second first down of the game for the Bulldogs, and served as the key moment in a drive that concluded with a 24-yard field goal from Jack Podlesny, tying the game at 3-3.

On the drive, Georgia picked up 87 yards and four total first downs, a stark contrast from the Dawgs opening two possessions, which yielded simply a single net yard.

It’s now 3-3 in the second quarter, and Alabama is marching into Georgia territory.
