Worth Noting… • The 49-7 victory over Middle Tennessee gives Georgia its third consecutive win with at least 40 points. The Bulldogs last did that when they started the 2012 season with five straight 40-plus-point games. • Junior TB Elijah Holyfield had a career-long 66-yard run on the Bulldogs’ first possession to set up a touchdown three plays later. Holyfield completed the half with eight carries for a career-high 100 yards. The last backs to hit the century mark were Sony Michel (181) and Nick Chubb (145) in the Rose Bowl Game win over Oklahoma last season. • Junior WR Tyler Simmons took a hand-off at the beginning of the second quarter a career-long 56 yards for his first career touchdown of any kind. This capped a season-best scoring drive of 94 yards, which was six plays and lasted 2:40, and was Georgia’s longest scoring drive since the Bulldogs went 98 yards on 11 plays in 6:34 versus Auburn in 2014. • Junior WR Mecole Hardman, who led the SEC in punt returns/yards/aver- age last year, returned a punt 70 yards in the second quarter for his first career PR for a touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 28-0 edge. Isaiah McKenzie was the last Georgia player to return a punt for a score after he went 82 yards versus UL-La- fayette in 2016.

If I can see it, I know I can get the ball to it.” Destroying pylons came naturally to Holyfield. There were a lot of other aspects of the college game that did not. The Woodward Academy graduate had to work hard on his pass-protection skills early in his Georgia career. Likewise, it took Holyfield a while to become an adept receiver out of the backfield. On that front, he’s still a work in progress, with just four catches on the season and six in his career. But it’s not from a lack of trying. Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Holyfield stays after practice every day to catch as many as 100 extra balls to entrust his coaches that he’ll be able to do that whenever needed. “I’ve been very pleased with Elijah,” Smart said Monday as he discussed Saturday’s SEC Championship the SEC in rushing at 259.8 yards per game. matchup with No. 1 Alabama. “His leadership more so “I think both those backs would tell you they benefit than his ability to get to the pylons has been tremendous. from a physical offensive line and a group of receivers His work ethic day in and day out, his toughness and his that are a threat to catch the ball,” said Smart, done with attitude, is tremendous.” heaping praise on Georgia’s backs. “So those things help Holyfield and his backfield mate D’Andre Swift are open boxes.

“Yeah, it would’ve been tough to replace all we had to replace and then you add Bake,” Smart said. “I think Bake made a good decision, but Bake probably was the most highly-rated guy when it came to scouts’ opinions as far as deciding to come back. He had a tough decision to make. I feel like he made the right one; only time will tell if he improves and continues to work to move up the draft board. But he has chance to do that. He’s a talented player.” Baker was only a three-star recruit coming out of high school, but a few high-profile programs were on him. Alabama, Nebraska and Texas also offered him. Larry Blustein, a longtime recruiting analyst in south Florida, recalled seeing Baker as a youth football player, and thinking even then he was one of the top players. Baker’s physical skills didn’t translate well to camps, where more eyes are on recruits. But real football games are played in pads. Blustein remembers seeing Miami Northwestern playing against Carroll City, its chief rival, and Baker stood out. “Watch any of the games that he played and he was always around the ball,” Blustein said. “I remember say- ing, this kid is getting way under-recruited because no one is watching him in the game.
