Bowers returns, No. 1 Georgia routs No. 10 Ole Miss 52-17 to punctuate another SEC East title

ATHENS, Ga. -- , No. 1 Georgia had plenty of reasons to celebrate before the Bulldogs even took the field. The party never stopped. Carson Beck threw for 306 yards, Kendall Milton ran for 127 yards and Brock Bowers made a triumphant return for the Bulldogs, who punctuated their spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game with a 52-17 demolition of No. 10 Mississippi on Saturday night. Georgia (10-0, 7-0 SEC, No. 2 College Football Playoff) turned in its most thorough performance of the season on a cool, rainy night, seemingly peaking at just the right time to make a run at its third straight national title. “It's not one guy,” coach Kirby Smart said. “There's guys everywhere.” Georgia scored touchdowns on its first four possessions, building a 28-14 halftime lead against Ole Miss (8-2, 5-2, No. 9) and cruising the rest of the way to its 27th consecutive victory.
