Georgia narrowly escaped a sloppy defensive performance thanks to an explosive day on the offensie side of the ball vs Mississippi State. Here are the sights and sounds from the contest.

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.

ATHENS — Georgia coach Kirby Smart went viral on social media after the Bulldogs’ game against Mississippi State on Saturday night, and he didn’t even know it.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart said he was trying to get defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann’s attention when he shoved Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. in the fourth quarter of a 41-31 victory at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

Smart shoved Van Buren after the freshman was pushed out of bounds on Georgia’s sideline by safety Dan Jackson at the end of a 6-yard run with 2:55 left in the game.

Smart had taken off his visor and was yelling at someone on Georgia’s sideline when Van Buren ran into his path. He was not penalized for making contact with the quarterback.

“I think I was going after Schumann,” Smart told reporters after the game. “I was trying to get Schumann’s attention. We were trying to change personnel. I think it’s the play they came over to our sideline and trying to get Schumann’s attention. But, no, I don’t really remember it.”

Van Buren completed 20 of 37 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns and one interception in his second college start.

“I’m not really sure what that was but I was just trying to play my game,” he said. “I didn’t really see it for real.”

Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby declined comment on the incident after the game, saying he hadn’t seen what happened.
