After a tipped pass led to an interception on the first drive of the game. Carson Beck was dialed in for the Bulldogs offense, throwing for over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone. Beck would finish the day with 459 yards and three touchdowns.

Georgia held a commanding lead of 27-10 after halftime but Mississippi State started to crawl their way back into the game after an interception in the end zone by Beck. They eventually brought it back within 10 points before Georgia then put on another touchdown to make it 41-24. Mississippi State then put on another touchowwn late in the game to close in the margin.

What was a first half dominating game by Georgia turned into a sloppy second half that Miss State make it closer on the score board.

The Bulldogs will travel to Austin, Texas next Saturday as they prepare to take on the top-ranked Texas Longhorns on the road. This will be the first meeting between these two historic programs as SEC opponents.
