Justin Fields – Noteworthy
Georgia’s playmakers feasted as if lined up at an all-you-can-eat buffet. No worries. There was plenty of offense for everyone. Freshman Justin Fields threw two scoring passes and ran for another touchdown, Tyler Simmons had rushing and receiving scores, and No. 5 Georgia protected its playoff hopes by overwhelming UMass 66-27 on Saturday in one of the biggest offensive games in school history. Another freshman, James Cook ran for 76 yards on only three carries, including his first two career scoring runs, from 26 and 27 yards. “Everybody gets equal opportunity,” Simmons said. Georgia gained 701 yards, the second-highest total in school history, including 426 yards on the ground. The Bulldogs never punted. Coach Kirby Smart said the Bulldogs “overpowered a team that’s smaller than us.” – AP College Football
