ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs will certainly have their hands full with Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield in the Rose Bowl.

Mayfield, the Heisman frontrunner, is putting up huge numbers this season. He’s thrown for 4,340 yards and 41 touchdowns. He has another 310 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns.

Safe to say, teams are struggling to slow him down.

When talking about the Bulldogs-Sooners matchup, UGA head coach Kirby Smart said he anticipates some sleepless nights in his near future while he prepares to face Mayfield.

But on Sunday, it was Mayfield who may have had a sleepless night.

According to a tweet by the star quarterback, someone posted his cellphone number online. And apparently Bulldog Nation took advantage of the opportunity.

Mayfield appeared to laugh it off and even said he applauded the creativity.
