The game will pit Bulldogs against Bulldogs, both winless in the SEC. Georgia lost last week at home to Arkansas 31-24 while Mississippi State lost at LSU 29-7.
With two losses in the SEC, Georgia clearly needs to win out to have any chance of winning the East. But they will also need a lot of help. The Dawgs need South Carolina to lose three games and the rest of the SEC East needs to lose two games. And, as previously mentioned, UGA must win out.

Mark Richt is no CEO head coach. He has, is and will always be a great offensive coordinator and if he doesn't start calling all of the UGA plays in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters, he won't be around for another two years -- period!
