You’ve probably seen the commercial, and Jake Fromm even made it his name on Twitter: JakeFromStateFromm.

The year-long saying came full circle Monday night during the Rose Bowl Game featuring the Georgia Bulldogs and the Oklahoma Sooners.

The ‘Jake from State Farm’ Twitter account congratulated the freshman quarterback and Georgia on the Rose Bowl Game.

Fromm led the Bulldogs to a 54-48 thrilling overtime Rose Bowl win over the Sooners.

Georgia is headed back to Atlanta to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the National Championship Game Jan. 8 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
