Stetson Bennett had an incredible fourth-quarter performance against Ohio State in the Peach Bowl, leading Georgia to a win over Ohio State.
But, coach Kirby Smart also had a clutch performance in the fourth quarter, too, calling a timeout right before Ohio State ran a fake punt.
During the College Football Playoff title game media day on Saturday in Los Angeles, Bennett shared his 2-word reaction to Smart’s clutch timeout:

It was later revealed that there were 12 men on the field for Ohio State during the fake punt, so the play wouldn’t have counted anyway.
Still, it was an incredible moment of awareness from Smart, and Bennett appreciated his coach’s efforts.
