    WATCH: Georgia intercepts pass that bounces off LSU player’s helmet in 2022 SEC Championship Game

    CBS Sports A bizarre interception set Georgia up for a touchdown in the first half of the SEC Championship Game on Saturday. With the Bulldogs ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels threw a pass intended for Jack Bech. As the ball arrived, Bech and Georgia defensive back Christopher Smith collided, sending the ball soaring into the air. It then bounced off Bech’s helmet and was intercepted by linebacker Smael Mondon Jr.  Shock appeared to envelop LSU in the immediate aftermath of the interception as coach Brian Kelly offered a perplexed look.

    Overwatch 2, which was first revealed in 2019, was recently delayed.Image: Blizzard Blizzard is in the eye of a storm.
