It wasn’t long after Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs won their second straight College Football Playoff national championship, the coach went into dad mode.

Smart’s son, Andrew, was crying after Georgia’s 65-7 win over TCU on Monday night.

“I walked in (to the coach’s office after the game). My 10-year-old son, Andrew, is bawling,” Smart told reporters after the game. “I’m, like, ‘Oh, no, somebody’s hurt his feelings. Somebody’s thrown him down or done something to him.’

“I said, ‘Why are you crying? You’re going to ruin my moment.’

“He said, ‘Stetson is leaving. He’s going to go.’

“He’s got to go. He’s got to leave,” Smart told his son.

Bennett, who is 25 years old, leaves with two national championships after throwing for 304 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for two more.

Bennett became the first player in Georgia’s lengthy history to rack up 4,000 total yards of offense over his career. He also broke Aaron Murray’s single-season yards passing record for the Bulldogs in the first half, an appropriate punctuation to a season in which the Bulldogs broke open offenses early with passing before running their way to victories.

Bennett is older than five starting quarterbacks for current NFL playoff teams and he finished 29-3 as a starter at Georgia. Bennett joined Matt Leinart and AJ McCarron as the only quarterbacks to lead their teams to back-to-back national championships in the 21st century when Georgia became just the fourth team to repeat since 1980.

The Bulldogs became the first repeat champs since Alabama went back-to-back a decade ago and left no doubt that they have replaced the Crimson Tide as the new bullies on the block. TCU, the first Cinderella team of the CFP era, never had a chance against the Georgia juggernaut and suffered the most lopsided loss in a national title game dating to the start of the BCS in 1998.

Georgia turned in one of the all-time beatdowns in a big game, reminiscent of Nebraska running over Florida by 38 in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, USC’s 36-point rout of Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl and Alabama’s 28-point BCS blowout over Notre Dame in 2013.
