Ladd McConkey rips off long TD run to help Georgia extend its lead at Mississippi State
It didn’t take long for Georgia to extend its lead in the 3rd quarter at Mississippi State.
The visiting Bulldogs had seen their 1st-half lead trimmed after some curious play calling late in the 2nd quarter allowed MSU to return a punt for a TD in the closing seconds that made it 17-12 at halftime.
But just 47 seconds into the 3rd quarter, Ladd McConkey ripped off a 70-yard touchdown run to push the advantage to 24-12.

Top-ranked Georgia would move to 10-0 with a victory Saturday and also clinch the SEC East title.
That would secure a berth in the SEC Championship game against LSU, which clinched the SEC West with its win over Arkansas on Saturday and Ole Miss’ loss to Alabama.
