Sony Michel got the hat trick.

The senior running back scored his third touchdown of Monday’s Rose Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners to tie the game at 31.

With the Bulldogs facing a third-and-7 at the Oklahoma 38-yard line, quarterback Jake Fromm audible to different play than the one Georgia was previously going to run. It was a smart decision. He handed the football to Michel who went virtually untouched all the way to the end zone.

Michel also caught a pass for a score and had a 75-yard touchdown run earlier in the game.
