Cole scores on 85-yard fumble recovery as No. 2 Georgia rolls over turnover-plagued Oklahoma 41-13

Chris Cole's 85-yard fumble recovery proved decisive as No. 2 Georgia overwhelmed turnover-plagued Oklahoma 41-13 in Saturday's game. Georgia capitalized on three first-half turnovers by John Mateer, leading to Cole's game-changing touchdown. Mateer, who lost two fumbles each recovered by Cole, also threw an interception. K.J. Bolden added to Georgia's advantage with a pick from Mateer in the second quarter.

The Sooners finished the game with four turnovers, including a fumble by tight end Rocky Beers that Cole returned 23 yards for another Bulldogs touchdown. Despite missing starting running back Nate Frazier due to rib injuries, Georgia's Gunner Stockton was nearly flawless, completing all nine passes through the first half for 171 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma struggled with their defense, allowing four turnovers and posting a poor 7.7 points per game average. The Sooners, who led the SEC in both pass and scoring defense, fell out of the AP Top 25 rankings after this loss. Georgia, aiming to maintain their unbeaten record, faces Vanderbilt next Saturday.
