Georgia vs. Michigan State: Live Score, Analysis & Reaction at the Outback Bowl

Michigan State 33 Georgia 30 Final/3OT

This Monday, the Georgia Bulldogs (10-3) take on the Michigan State Spartans (10-3) at the 2012 Outback Bowl in Tampa Bay, Fla.

The Georgia-Michigan State clash marks one of the signature postseason games of the year as the two conference powerhouses line up to close out this season.

Both teams bring powerful weapons to the gridiron. Georgia's Aaron Murray has dominated all season against top notch defenses, leading his team to the SEC East divisional title. Michigan State's offense, however, ranks quite potent as well behind the strong arm of Kirk Cousins.

The Bulldogs passing game will be led by freshman wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, one of the most talented targets in the south. Nothing seems capable of slowing down this high-octane monster.

The Spartans have also gotten some great production out of senior WR BJ Cunningham. Making a huge impact in the Big Ten this season, Cunningham has truly come into his own and will be a threat in the NFL for years to come.

This game will feature two top-notch college squads, both vying for national respect. Georgia and Michigan both just came off losses in their respective conference championship games, holding them back from a BCS Bowl berth. A win here would speak volumes for either program.

Murray and the Bulldogs are going into the game off a tough loss to LSU after a bestial 10-game winning streak. Trying to regain that momentum will be a challenge for Mark Richt and these coaches from Athens. The Spartans, like Georgia, are looking for new life after just falling to Wisconsin right after winning eight of their last nine.

Two unstoppable forces meet in the second day of the new year. Get ready to see who shows who up in one of top matchups of the postseason.
