The fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are set for another massive SEC road test this weekend as they travel to Starkville, Mississippi, for the first time since 2022 to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
This battle of the Dawgs will feature one of the nation’s top teams in Georgia, which is looking to keep pace at the top of a very crowded SEC title game picture, and an upstart MSU squad that has played every team extremely close this year.
ESPN analyst Jordan Rodgers joined Get Up on Friday morning to discuss this pivotal early November SEC clash, and he told Mike Greenberg that Georgia could be on upset alert.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Starkville or seen a game there, but the cowbells are as intimidating as they are annoying,” Rogers said. “One thing Georgia has done this year is they’ve given everybody a head start. They’ve had to come from behind in 5 of their 6 SEC games, and at some point, it’s going to bite them in the butt.
“… If Georgia gives the cowbells a bit of a head start and gives up some explosive plays, this is a bad matchup in a bad way for them.”
If Mississippi State can manage to pull off the upset, it will snap a 5-game skid against UGA, and all but eliminate Kirby Smart‘s team from SEC title game contention heading into the final few weeks of the season.
Kickoff is set for noon ET on ESPN. Georgia is a 9.5-point favorite, per DraftKings.
