The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs' return trip to the Sugar Bowl went their way this time around as the SEC runners-up defeated No. 7 Baylor 26-14 in Wednesday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Freshman wideout George Pickens carried the Georgia offense with 12 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown on this perfect 27-yard pass from quarterback Jake Fromm:
That score gave UGA a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. A Rodrigo Blankenship field goal and a 16-yard touchdown toss from Fromm to Matt Landers made the score 19-0 at half.
Baylor fought back in the second half.
