ATHENS, Ga. -- This was the kind of game Georgia fans dreaded the past few seasons.
You’re feeling good, you’re ranked, you just had one of those so-called “signature wins," and still there’s a sinking sense of doubt. At home, favored to beat another ranked team from the big, bad SEC West, it might all unravel.
But against Mississippi State on Saturday night, that didn’t happen. In fact, far from it. Freshman quarterback Jake Fromm was pitch-perfect under center, the defense was absolutely suffocating and No. 11 Georgia beat No. 17 Mississippi State 31-3 at home in Sanford Stadium.
