ATLANTA -- Georgia receiver George Pickens was ejected in the third quarter of Saturday's game at Georgia Tech after trading punches with a Yellow Jackets defensive back.
The SEC confirmed that, per NCAA rules, Pickens would be suspended from playing in the first half of next week's SEC championship game against No. 2 LSU.
Another concern for UGA heading into the SEC championship game: star tailback D'Andre Swift appeared to injure his left shoulder on a run in the third quarter and didn't return. He was hurt after taking a direct snap and fumbling the ball with 7:26 to go in the third quarter.
