ATHENS, Ga. -- When the season began, not many saw Saturday night's matchup between Mississippi State and Georgia as a red-letter game in the SEC.
Yet, that's exactly what it is.
Both sets of Bulldogs enter play at Sanford Stadium with 3-0 marks, with Mississippi State ranked 17th and 1-0 in the SEC after last week's 37-7 rout of LSU.
No. 11 Georgia will be playing its SEC opener.
"I think they're a very physical team. They always are," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said.
"(Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen) seems to always find really good quarterbacks, especially dual-threat guys.
