Thanks to a few players, Georgia had their best performance of the season and had their most comfortable lead since the bowl victory over Penn State.

While the score was 35-21, the game wasn’t that close. 14 of Louisiana Lafayette’s points came in the fourth quarter against Georgia’s second and third string defense.

Here are a couple of players who are worthy of being named MVP in Georgia’s victory over the Ragin’ Cajuns.

Isaiah McKenzie

The Human Joystick was at his best today. He made plays in the run game, passing game and special teams.

McKenzie opened the game with a 55-yard touchdown run on a reverse with a fake hand-off to Chubb. After the defense stopped Lafayette on a third down, McKenzie returned a punt 82 yards to the end zone. In the third quarter, he caught a 26-yard pass from Eason to put Georgia inside the 5-yard line.

Without McKenzie, who knows how the game could have gone. He scored the two opening touchdowns and made one of the biggest catches of the game. The heavy winds kept Georgia from building a deep passing game. And Georgia hasn’t tried to develop a mid-range or short passing game this season.

The Bulldogs may have scored much less than 35 points without the Joystick.
