Georgia wide receiver George Pickens won’t be able to play until the third quarter of next week’s SEC Championship Game against No. 2 LSU.
Pickens was ejected from Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech after he got into a fight with Tech defensive back Tre Swilling as Georgia went up 38-7. Pickens and Swilling got engaged as Pickens ran a route into the end zone and the ensuing scuffle resulted with punches thrown and Pickens throwing Swilling into a wall.
By NCAA rules, any player ejected for fighting in the second half of a game must serve a suspension for the first half of the ensuing game.
