45-19 was the final score, but it felt a little closer than the numbers made it out to be. In a game that wins Georgia the SEC East, and in turn locks the Bulldogs in for an opportunity to compete in the SEC Championship, the Dawgs showed us: no run game? No problem.
One of the big stories of the night was Georgia’s inability to run the ball against the Mississippi front. When asked about it in his postgame presser Coach Smart explained, “They got some grown men that have started for two years out there.”
Because the Dawgs weren’t able to consistently run the ball, it put more pressure on Stetson Bennett and the passing attack.
