As well as the Georgia defense did against Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield in the second half, limiting him to just 19 yards and an interception, its hard to keep a Heisman Trophy winner down very long.

After Georgia had taken a 38-31 lead on the Sooners in Monday’s Rose Bowl, Mayfield started to find his groove again. He connected with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on a for a 36-yard gain. Then he kept the ball on a designed quarterback run for 22 yards. Finally, he capped off the drive rolling outside the pocket and threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to running back Dimitri Flowers to tie the game with 8:47 remaining in the fourth quarter.
