Georgia scored five rushing touchdowns, three passing, a punt return and a field goal. Three of the rushing touchdowns came from true freshman Sony Michel, all of which were in the first half. The Bulldogs halftime led was 45-0.

Worked in online, print, TV and radio. Bobby Valentine once wore a pair of my socks for 8 hours. In an awkward exchange, he handed them back to me to which they were immediately deposited in a trash can.
