Pickens leads No. 5 Georgia past No. 8 Baylor in Sugar Bowl. MORE:
NEW ORLEANS — Georgia freshman receiver George Pickens left behind his regrettable ending to the regular season and put the rest of college football on notice that he will be an exceedingly tough cover in 2020.
Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer, coming back from a concussion in the Big 12 title game on Dec. 7, was sidelined again in the fourth quarter when the back of his head appeared to hit the turf hard as he was taken down by two defenders while going out of bounds. Travon Walker was penalized for a late hit, giving Baylor a first down, but the drive stalled on a sack of backup Jacob Zeno on fourth down with five minutes to go and Baylor down 12.
Georgia defensive back Richard LeCounte intercepted two passes, the second sealing the victory in the final minutes.“Seeing him do something like he did today — no surprise to us,” Fromm said. “He’s just going out and playing the game he loves.”After Georgia led 19-0 at halftime, Baylor showed signs of mounting a comeback on the opening series of the second half with a scoring drive dominated by Mims.
The Bulldogs capitalized with a touchdown drive extended by a fake field goal in which holder Jake Camarda ran off tackle for 6 yards on fourth-and-2. White finished the series with a tackle-breaking 13-yard run to the pylon to make it 26-7. “When we left him 1-on-1, he made the plays,” Rhule said. “When we played off him a little bit, he made guys miss.”Georgia was without about a dozen regulars, including three starting offensive linemen. Some players were hurt while others sat out to preserve their health for the NFL draft.LeCounte wasn’t surprised to see younger reserves step in effectively.
