DID YOU KNOW?
This is only Georgia’s second appearance in the Rose Bowl game. The Bulldogs first appearance was in the 1943 Rose Bowl following the 1942 college football season. UGA was led by Heisman Trophy winner halfback Frank Sinkwich, player of the game Charley Trippi, and a stout defense to defeat UCLA 9-0 on that New Year’s Day Friday, capping off an 11-1 SEC and National Championship Season under then head coach Wally Butts.
This aslo marks Georgia’s first appearance in the College Football Playoffs since they replaced the BCS system in 2014 and is the first time that both the Bulldogs and Sooners will face each other on the gridiron in the history of their football programs. UGA has been playing college football since 1892 for over 125 years and Oklahoma’s football program inaugural year began just three years later in 1895.
PATH TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The winner of the Rose Bowl will play the winner of the of the other College Football Playoff semifinal game, the Sugar Bowl featuring the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide and the No. 1 Clemson Tigers, in the National Championship game on Monday, January 8th, which will played in Atlantla, GA in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
