After forcing a turnover, the Georgia Bulldogs marched down the field in the second quarter of the SEC Championship to tie the game at 7.

Linebacker Davin Bellamy forced a strip-sack fumble on Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham, which was recovered by Georgia’s Roquan Smith. The Bulldogs capitalized on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as they traveled 83 yards on just seven plays to score their first touchdown on the evening.

Quarterback Jake Fromm used a nifty play-fake to free up his big tight end Isaac Nauta. The two connected for the easy 2-yard touchdown with 10:14 left in the first half.

Fromm connected with wide receiver Mecole Hardman twice on the drive for a total of 47 yards.
