In a resounding victory, No. 5 Georgia outperformed Mississippi State 41-21 on Saturday. Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton led the charge, throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns. The Bulldogs' offense clicked into high gear, scoring 38 consecutive points after surrendering an early touchdown. Georgia's rushing attack proved unstoppable, with 305 yards and a 7.3-yard average per carry. Freshman Nate Frazier impressed with 181 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries. The Bulldogs' receiving corps also contributed, with Zachariah Branch and Noah Thomas combining for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Mississippi State's hopes of securing a top-10 win were dashed due to a talent disparity and a series of injuries. Starting quarterback Blake Shapen left the game in the third quarter with a head injury, and other key players, including defensive captain Isaac Smith and safety Brylan Lanier, also suffered injuries. The Bulldogs' victory keeps them firmly in the College Football Playoff picture. Georgia will host Texas next Saturday, while Mississippi State travels to Missouri on the same day.
