On Jan. 2, Georgia played its first game without Mark Richt on the sidelines since 2002.

But, Richt was still watching.

The Miami Hurricanes new head coach reached out on Twitter to congratulate the Bulldogs players and coaches following their win over Penn State in the Taxslayer Bowl.

Congratulations to the Georgia Bulldog coaches and players! Great to see the senior class reach 40 wins! God Bless! — Mark Richt (@MarkRicht) January 2, 2016

And, you can bet that senior class wouldn't have 40 wins without Richt.
