Former UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton threw some major shade at the Georgia Bulldogs on Monday night.
The Bulldogs demolished TCU in the national championship game, winning 65-7.
After the game, Milton, who played for current Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel for three seasons at UCF, took to Twitter to suggest that Georgia has only won the last two national championships because of injuries.
Milton pointed out that Georgia was able to beat Alabama in last year's national championship game because wide receiver John Metchie was out and wide receiver Jameson Williams tore his ACL in the second quarter. Alabama was leading at the time of Williams' injury. Milton also noted that Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr was injured in Georgia's College Football Playoff semifinal win on New Year's Eve.
Milton is catching some heat for that tweet, but he's probably right.
Alabama probably wins if Williams doesn't get hurt and Ohio State likely wins if Harrison doesn't get hurt (Ohio State was leading by 11 when Harrison was hurt late in the third quarter).
At the same time, there's no denying that Georgia is a deserving champion. They were dominant in the regular season the last two seasons. And injuries, unfortunately, are part of the game. There isn't a respected head coach out there who will use injuries as an excuse.
Still, without those injuries, Georgia has zero national championships and the conversation is about how Kirby Smart "can't win the big one".
Every dynasty needs a little help to be successful and the Bulldogs have received their help on the sport's biggest stage the last two seasons.
