ATHENS — A week after the Georgia defense dominated in a win over Auburn, it was the Bulldogs’ offensive firepower that led the way Saturday.
Carson Beck completed 36 of 48 passes for 459 yards and three touchdowns, as No. 5 Georgia beat visiting Mississippi State 41-31, improving to 5-1 and 3-1 in SEC play.
