Georgia visited Mississippi State on Saturday, surviving the trap game with an 8-1 record. However, the Bulldogs lost two key offensive players, Junior TE Lawson Luckie, and Redshirt freshman OL Drew Bobo, as they got injured and were taken out of the field. At this stage, Oscar Delp narrated Luckie’s tragedy, as Kirby Smart gave a new health update.

Georgia’s Junior TE, Lawson Luckie, took a nasty hit to the head with under two minutes left to end the first half on an incompletion, with Georgia leading 17-7. He was laid motionless on the field for an extended period of time. Georgia’s training staff attended to Luckie and escorted him to the medical tent, and he didn’t return to the game. This led to Mississippi State DB Jahron Manning being ejected from the field for a targeting penalty.

Senior TE Oscar Delp dropped his true feelings on the moment when Luckie got hurt on Monday during the weekly press conference. “I just immediately went up to our chaplain and we prayed for him with a few other players on the field… Aside from that, you can’t think about getting hurt going into the game, or you get hurt.”

Delp’s prayers were answered with instant blessings, as Luckie returned to the sidelines during the second half, all by himself. Following the game, Kirby Smart said that Luckie was looking to get back into the game but was held by the decision-makers. The game continued with Oscar Delp and Elyiss Williams as the tight end. The duo received three passes for 52 yards and a touchdown, resulting in a 41-21 blowout win.

If you take a look at Lawson Luckie’s season, he played all eight games for Georgia and had 10 catches for 81 yards and three touchdowns. Last season, the Junior TE had 24 catches for 348 yards, three touchdowns, averaging 14.5 yards per catch. His contribution to the program is crucial as Georgia heads into the playoffs.

With that being said, Kirby Smart provides a new medical update on the two injured offensive players.

On the other hand, the redshirt freshman OL Drew Bobo. He suffered a bad laceration to his finger, but Smart said that he’s bandaged up and ready to go practice today. “Drew had a pretty bad laceration on his finger. He’s patched up and ready to go for Monday’s practice,” Smart said. 

It’s a positive thing for the No.5 Georgia, as they have a big game to host this Saturday. The Bulldogs will lock horns with the Texas Longhorns in a marquee matchup. Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns are ranked No. 10 with a 7-2 record (4-1 in SEC), who are coming after a week off after defeating Vanderbilt, 34-31.
