The Georgia Bulldogs were in control early in the fourth quarter during Saturday’s SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Leading Auburn 21-7, freshman running back D’Andre Swift put the nail in the coffin.

Swift took a handoff from Jake Fromm, ran through a truck-sized hole in the offensive line, got a great block down field from wide receiver Javon Wimms and swiftly out-ran the Auburn defense for a 64-yard touchdown run. The Bulldogs went up 28-7 with 10:34 left in the game.
