Later, Fields threw a 14-yard pass to Flowers and the Bulldogs led the rest of the way. On the ensuing drive, Richard completed a 20-yard scoring pass to Devin Smith but the extra-point attempt failed.
Richard threw for 296 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and ran for 62 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown.
