Starting QB Blake Shapen left in the third quarter with an apparent head injury, and defensive captain Isaac Smith and safety Brylan Lanier also exited with injuries. This could impact depth and preparation for next week.
MSU scored on the opening drive but then went scoreless on six consecutive possessions, allowing Georgia to build a 38-point lead. The offense failed to sustain drives against a top-tier defense.
Georgia rushed for 305 yards and averaged 7.3 yards per carry, with freshman Nate Frazier gaining 181 yards on just 12 carries. MSU's run defense was unable to contain Georgia's ground game.
In relief of Shapen, Taylor completed 6 of 10 passes for 67 yards and rushed for 53 yards and three touchdowns. His mobility and scoring ability could be a factor if Shapen is unavailable next week.
