Georgia star linebacker Nakobe Dean began celebrating the Bulldogs' national championshipon Monday night with a wardrobe faux pas.
Dean, who tallied four tackles in the 33-18 win against Alabama, was shown wearing the wrong championship hat. Instead of the block-letter "G," Dean sported an Alabama championship hat on the field. The win gave Georgia its first national title since 1980.
