During the SEC Championship Game against Texas, Georgia’s offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo, witnessed a memorable moment involving his son, Drew Bobo. Drew, a member of Georgia’s special teams unit, executed a successful fake punt by completing a pass, contributing to the Bulldogs’ momentum in the game.
When asked about his son’s involvement in the play, Mike Bobo humorously remarked, “I was glad he didn’t screw it up because you’d have two Bobos that everybody could yell at.”
Bobo further elaborated on his reaction during a press conference, noting that he was initially unaware of the fake punt decision. Focused on offensive preparations, he didn’t realize Drew was involved until after the play had unfolded. It wasn’t until special teams coordinator Todd Hartley informed him that the offense was back on the field that he became aware of the successful execution. Reflecting on the moment, Bobo expressed pride in his son’s performance, acknowledging the significance of the play in the game’s context.
This lighthearted exchange highlights the unique dynamic of having a father-son duo contributing to the same team’s success. Mike Bobo’s jest underscores the familial bonds within the sport and adds a personal touch to Georgia’s championship journey.
