ATLANTA — Georgia sophomore Amarius Mims got his first career start at right tackle, snapping what had been a 37-game starting streak for redshirt junior Warren McClendon.

McClendon, a redshirt junior, suffered what Kirby Smart was a sprained knee in the Bulldogs’ 50-30 win over LSU and has been questionable to play in the CFP Peach Bowl Semifinal against Ohio State on Saturday.

McClendon had started 37 consecutive games — the longest streak on the team. McClendon is dressed out and took reps with the second team, apparently available to play but perhaps not at 100 percent after missing an undetermined amount of work leading up to the game.

The Georgia players with the longest starting streaks with the Bulldogs’ game against the Buckeyes underway:

• OC Sedrick Van Pran, 29

• CB Kelee Ringo, 26

• QB Stetson Bennett, 24

• FS Chris Smith, 16

Ladd McConkey looked 100 percent running routes in the first quarter, but Kearis Jackson assumed the punt return duties.

McConkey, like McClendon, had an uncertain status leading up to the game after suffering a knee injury against LSU.

McConkey has been the second most productive offensive skill position player this season:
