Kirby Smart comments on Baker Mayfield’s magician-like attributes

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart seems to be awfully impressed by Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Smart joined ESPNU Radio on SiriusXM ahead of the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff Rose Bowl semifinal matchup against the Sooners.

“He’s unbelievable. He’s Harry Houdini,” Smart said about the Heisman Trophy winner. “He could pop out of any box anywhere, and he does a great job of it.”

Mayfield has thrown for a whopping 4,340 yards this season to go along with 41 touchdowns and just five interceptions. The senior QB was the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman — for good reason.

No. 3 Georgia and No. 2 Oklahoma will kick off from Pasadena at 5 p.m. ET on Monday. The game will be televised on ESPN.

So what does @KirbySmartUGA think of facing @HeismanTrophy winner @baker_mayfield6 and @OU_Football in the #CFBPlayoff?#GoDawgs #BoomerSooner 🌹🔊🔽 pic.twitter.com/iiCWtcGLWz
