Georgia football travel roster for Mississippi State

STARKVILLE, Miss. — DawgsHQ has boots on the ground in the Magnolia State at Davis Wade Stadium for tonight’s matchup between No. 1 Georgia and Mississippi State. It’s a battle of the Bulldogs and two teams that are bound for bowl games. Mike Leach has his team at 6-3 on the year with a 3-3 record in the SEC while Kirby Smart’s crew is 9-0 and aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoffs for the second straight season. Getting to the SEC Championship Game is the first goal though, and a win in Starkville would secure the SEC East and a spot in Atlanta for the fifth time in the last six seasons.

“We opened our start of work on Mississippi State today. Took a day in the bye week to work towards these guys. Very different,” Kirby Smart said in his opening remarks to Mississippi State week on Monday. “Really different in two ways. Different defensively. Their defensive coordinator does an incredible job. Different kind of scheme than we faced before. And then offensively, obviously, they’re very different. And people would probably think they’re similar to Tennessee. But they’re really not similar to Tennessee. So it’s become a third week of facing a different kind of offense in terms of what they do offensively. And very, very few of our calls and schemes carry over from one week to the next when you play this offense. So it’s a new challenge for our guys. And I know our guys will be excited getting ready for it. It’s an extremely tough place to play. A place I’ve been many times. Their environment is electric. It’ll be at night. And their guys play really hard and they’re really physical. We saw that, you know, a couple years ago, here at home against them.”

Georgia and Mississippi State have met 25 times prior to Saturday’s matchup with Georgia holding a 19-6 overall advantage, the last coming in 2020 when JT Daniels found Jermaine Burton for 197 yards and a pair of touchdowns on his way to 401 yards passing and a 31-24 win between the hedges. This is just the seventh meeting in Starkville where Georgia has won four out of the previous six.
