The Bulldogs entered Saturday&#8217;s game at Georgia with a 0-2 record in league play and just 1 win in 5 tries.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs went into the halftime break against Georgia trailing 27-10. Georgia needed just 72 seconds to add to its margin at the start of the third quarter. Carson Beck hit Arian Smith for a 42-yard strike, but Mississippi State may have been able to prevent it from turning into a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Safety Brylan Lanier, for whatever reason, just chose not to tackle Smith.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Don&#8217;t mind if we do.<\/p>\n<p> SEC Network <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoDawgs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoDawgs<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n2g1Elj3K4\">pic.twitter.com\/n2g1Elj3K4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Georgia Football (@GeorgiaFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeorgiaFootball\/status\/1845230311820624168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Lanier may have thought the ball had fallen incomplete.
