ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Carson Beck didn't panic when No. 5 Georgia found second-half resistance from heavy underdog Mississippi State.
Beck passed for a career-high 459 yards and three touchdowns and Georgia withstood Mississippi State's second-half comeback bid for a 41-31 win Saturday.
“He’s experienced,” said Georgia coach Kirby Smart of Beck, a senior. “The game gets a little tight there and he’s cool, not panicked.”
Georgia (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) played at times as if it were looking ahead to next week's visit to No. 1 Texas, but had enough offense for its 28th consecutive home win.
