ATHENS, Ga. -- Jake Fromm threw three touchdown passes and Elijah Holyfield ran for 100 yards, each playing only the first half, as No. 3 Georgia overwhelmed Middle Tennessee 49-7 on Saturday.
Georgia led 42-7 at halftime. It was an impressive warmup for the Bulldogs' stretch of seven straight Southeastern Conference games, beginning with next week's visit to Missouri.
Georgia has started strong this season after winning its first SEC title since 2005 last year and losing to Alabama in the national championship game.
"We've created a standard the last couple of years, and now we're owning it with players holding other players accountable," coach Kirby Smart said.
