College football fans react to Georgia’s monster start vs. Michigan

The Orange Bowl already looks headed toward blowout territory at Hard Rock Stadium.
Georgia has had 2 possessions in its College Football Playoff semifinal contest against Michigan. And it’s scored both times as it has opened up a 14-0 lead on the Wolverines with less than 5 minutes to go in the opening quarter.
The Bulldogs saw Brock Bowers find the end zone on their opening drive to cap a 7-play, 80-yard drive that took just over 4 minutes. The true freshman made 3 catches for 51 yards during the drive, and his 12 touchdown catches sets a new program record.

After forcing a turnover on downs with the Wolverines at the Georgia 41, the Dawgs took advantage of great field position. And they turned a trick play into another touchdown as Kenny McIntosh took the handoff from Stetson Bennett and found a wide-open Adonai Mitchell in the end zone from 18 yards out:

Bennett, by the way, has completed all 7 of his passes thus far.
The hot Georgia start certainly caught the eye of college football fans:
Michigan players are intimidated by Georgia. Body language says it all with college players!
