No. 13 Georgia (4-2) takes on Mississippi State (2-4) tonight at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

Coach Mike Leach and the Bulldogs from Starkville have struggled to get anything going after a big win at LSU to start the season.

Since then, Mississippi State has looked miserable offensively. Stanford transfer quarterback K.J. Costello and freshman Will Rodgers have combined to throw 14 interceptions to only 8 touchdowns.

And on defense, things don’t look much better. Statistically the Bulldogs rank No. 35 in the country allowing 359 yards per game, but the real issue is depth after COVID testing has limited Mississippi State’s roster to under 53 scholarship players.

That said, the game is on and Georgia, led by new starting quarterback JT Daniels, is looking to avenge a bad loss to Florida in Jacksonville.
