If this version of Sony Michel’s game-winning touchdown in Monday’s Rose Bowl doesn’t give you chills, nothing will.

After Georgia’s 54-48 win over Oklahoma, Titanic TD Twitter account set Michel’s walk-off touchdown to “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion from the movie “Titanic”.

The Georgia senior running back’s 27-yard touchdown run in double-overtime won the game for the Bulldogs after Lorenzo Carter blocked an Oklahoma field-goal attempt on the Sooners’ final possession of the game.

The Bulldogs advanced to play Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship game Monday at 8 p.m. at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
