        Inglewood, California;
Whereas this victory marks the University of Georgia Bulldogs' second college 
        football national championship in 2 years, and fourth in program 
        history, making the Bulldogs the first team in the playoff era to repeat 
        national titles;
Whereas this historic victory follows a Southeastern Conference Championship and 
        a Peach Bowl playoff victory;
Whereas the 2022-2023 University of Georgia Bulldogs offense averaged an 
        impressive 494.9 yards and 39 points per game, with the defense allowing 
        only 304.6 yards and 14.8 points per game through 14 games, and the 
        Bulldogs allowed only 188 yards and 7 points, while posting 589 yards of 
        offense and 65 points in the championship game;
Whereas Kirby Smart posts his second national championship victory in his 
        seventh year as Head Coach of the University of Georgia Bulldogs 
        football team and his third appearance in the national championship 
        game; and
Whereas, with this remarkable season, Coach Smart extends his impressive record 
        to 72 wins and 15 losses in his 7 years as Head Coach of the University 
        of Georgia Bulldogs football team and cements his legacy in Georgia 
        football forever: Now, therefore, be it
