Reggie Carter was getting ready to leave Sanford Stadium following Georgia’s 24-10 win over South Carolina when his mother relayed some important news.
Mississippi had just defeated Kentucky. That meant the Bulldogs clinched the SEC East division title.
Carter’s mother was obviously excited at this revelation. As for Carter, he didn’t think this particular achievement warranted much attention. After all, Georgia has a talented opponent in Auburn to prepare for next.
“My mom told me. I was like, ‘That’s good,’” Carter said. “I told her we got Auburn next. I’m happy but we got Auburn next and they’re a tough opponent.
