Jeff Lebby’s Mississippi State Bulldogs had an almost impossible task last weekend- taking on the Georgia Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Lebby’s squad put up a good fight, losing by just 10. However, Kirby Smart shoving Mississippi State QB Michael Van Buren Jr.<\/a> took some of the attention away from the game. Smart and Van Buren both addressed the incident, but neither made much of a deal about it.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday’s SEC teleconference, Lebby discussed Smart reaching out to him and his QB<\/a> in an “immediate” fashion after the incident. The coach also said that Smart’s actions have satisfied him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m satisfied,” said Lebby. “Kirby reached out to me right after the game and reached out to Mike. There was great dialogue and communication there.”<\/p>\n
