Best photos of Georgia's 41-31 win vs. Mississippi State

The Georgia Bulldogs competed in an offensive shootout against Mississippi State at home, winning 41-31. Carson Beck had the most passing yards in his career and etched his name in the record books for his performance. Georgia needed every bit of it, as the defense, especially the secondary, made numerous mistakes.

Georgia improves to 5-1, improving their College Football Playoff chances, but they’ll need to be more well-rounded going against the No. 1 Texas Longhorns next week. Meanwhile, the Mississippi State Bulldogs fall to 1-5 and, despite offensive strides, don’t scare anyone. Their next opponent will be the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies.

Overall, the final score belies how much one-sided this was. Mississippi State was never within a touchdown or a field goal of beating Georgia in this game, and Georgia arguably should’ve won by more if not for a Peyton Woodring missed field goal and a Carson Beck red zone interception.

Of course, the reason why the game looked close was because of Georgia’s secondary make freshman backup Michael Van Buren Jr. look like an experienced vet, as he threw several bombs that took advantage of UGA’s miscommunication in the secondary.
