MSU converted zero of its three attempted fourth down conversions. Coming into the game, Coach Smart said that third and fourth down conversions would be the key to this game. UGA’s defense did not disappoint. MSU was only 3-of-14 on third-down conversions. After the game, Smart seemed pleased with the defensive effort, noting that Kamari Lassiter made “a really good play” with an open-field tackle on a fourth and one from Georgia’s 9-yard line. Georgia’s defense continues to play at an “elite” level.
Ladd McConkey powered Georgia’s offense with a combined total of 141 yards running and receiving.
