Mississippi State ended the first half in a big way, cutting into Georgia's lead. Ladd McConkey answered in a big way in the third quarter.

At 17-12, Georgia's halftime lead was a little too close for comfort. Ladd McConkey, who had just 3 receptions in the first half, exploded for Georgia in the third quarter, helping the Bulldogs take a 31-19 lead into the fourth.

It started on the second play of the second half. McConkey took a sweep around the left edge, making defenders miss on his way to a 70-yard score.
