Following Georgia’s impressive comeback win over Ohio State on Saturday, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart reflected on the win and talked about the game ahead against TCU during an appearance on College GameDay on ESPN.

Georgia, led by Stetson Bennett, crawled back into the game and ultimately won as the Buckeyes missed the game winning field goal. In a brilliant display of grit and determination, Smart was impressed with his team’s ability to step up to the challenge at hand.

“I told them that they’re resilient. The No. 1 quality you want in a football team is heart and character. And both these teams embody those things. They’ve had a ton of comebacks and really tight ballgames,” Smart said. “Our team has come back and fought in the fourth quarter.”

Smart also looked at his team compared the Horned Frogs and believes that they compare well to each other. He also thinks Bulldogs have some injuries to work through before Monday.

“I think when you start looking at the character and identity of these 2 teams, they mirror each other in terms the leadership at the quarterback position, and the heart and soul of the team,” Smart said. “We just tell them I was proud of the way they competed and we’ve got to come here today and see the doctor and get some stuff fixed.”

Georgia and TCU face off in the national championship on Monday, Jan. 9.
