Every Georgia football fan will remember Kelee Ringo’s interception and return against Alabama in the 2022 National Championship game. But few will provide the level of insight on the play that Nolan Smith did.

The Georgia football captain, who was taken in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, was asked about Ringo’s interception in a press conference on Friday.

Smith, a team captain for Georgia last season, delivered perhaps the best description of the play to date.

Ringo’s interception gave Georgia a 33-18 lead, which would end being the final scoring play of the national championship win. Smith ended up sacking Alabama quarterback Bryce Young on the final play of the game, giving Georgia its first national championship in 41 years.
