Georgia head coach Kirby Smart warned his players to “go hungry” after becoming back-to-back national champions with a 65-7 loss of TCU Monday night.
During the title game, some Bulldogs literally showed how hungry they were.
Videos posted on social media appeared to show Kendall Milton, running back from Georgia walking up to a group of fans at SoFi Stadium who were at field level late in the fourth quarter and grabbing a plate of food.

The secondary party may have been poorly received by TCU fans, but Georgia fans were probably already celebrating when the lopsided game entered halftime 35-7 in favor of the reigning national champions.
“We wanted our kids to play without fear,” Smart said after the game. “All year I told them, I told them: ‘You guys aren’t going to hunt us down. We’re hunting, and hunting season is almost over. We only have one more chance to hunt.’ And we hunt tonight.”

Smart did not want to talk about a treble, but he did talk about the biggest challenge ahead of the 2023 season.
“The moment you think you have the right to win games and you don’t have to work hard, [TCU Coach Sonny Dykes] and I was talking about it: the uphill battle for those guys is that you think you just inherit success, and I personally think next year is going to be a much, much tougher challenge than this year because a lot of guys left last year,” said smart.
“The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement, and I’ve seen it firsthand. And if you can kill it with leadership, then you can go hungry.”
