Georgia wasn’t going to lose the Sugar Bowl to a Big 12 opponent for a second straight season.
The No. 5 Bulldogs jumped out to a 19-0 lead at halftime thanks to a dominant performance by freshman WR George Pickens on the way to a 26-14 win over No. 7 Baylor on Wednesday night.
Georgia entered the game without the services of over a dozen players due to injury or NFL draft preparations. That included WR Lawrence Cager, who suffered an ankle injury at the end of the season and WR Dominick Blaylock who suffered a torn ACL against LSU in the SEC title game.
