Uncle Mo returns: Georgia pulls off fake field goal, Zamir White TD in consecutive plays
For a moment, it seemed as if Baylor had pulled the momentum from Georgia after the Bulldogs had a dominant first half, especially on defense. The Bears scored on an efficient drive to open the second half.
But Georgia responded in a big way thanks to a fake field goal by holder Jake Camarda, which secured a first down. And then RB Zamir White rumbled into the end zone for a touchdown on the very next play.
Camarda turned a fourth down and two at the Baylor 19-yard line into a six-yard run for a touchdown. Then White ran around right end for 13 yards with 7:16 remaining in the third quarter, which gave Georgia a 26-7 lead. That capped a seven-play drive that covered 47 yards and about two and a half minutes.
The fake field goal was a welcome sight for Georgia fans, who have seen coach Kirby Smart make multiple similar calls in recent years without much success.
After a bit of a lackluster first half, this certainly provided more action in the second half.
Fake FG!!!
