This game on Saturday is Georgia’s first SEC game of the 2017 season. With a December trip to Atlanta on the Dawgs’ mind this season, it is imperative that Georgia starts off the SEC campaign with a win.
If the Dawgs can’t find a way to win, their goal of winning the SEC East will become more difficult to achieve. Having a blemish on the record so early in the year before even taking on an SEC East opponent would force the Dawgs to play almost perfect football for the remaining 8 games on the schedule.
If Georgia wants to solidify its place as the best team in the SEC besides Alabama, then a win on Saturday against Mississippi State is critical to make that happen.
