Top-ranked Georgia (4-0, 1-0 SEC) begins a stretch of seven consecutive SEC games this Saturday when it faces Missouri (2-2, 0-1 SEC) in Columbia. The Tigers dropped a heartbreaker at Auburn 17-14 in overtime last Saturday.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first quarter, top-ranked Georgia responded with 40 unanswered points and ultimately posted a 43-6 win. Stetson Bennett (13-for-19, 255 yards, 2 TDs) started at quarterback and helped the Bulldogs build a 33-3 lead before JT Daniels returned under center for the first time in two weeks. He threw a touchdown pass to Ladd McConkey. Nine different Bulldogs caught passes with four covering more than 20 yards. The stout Bulldog defense limited the Tigers to a pair of field goals on the day and had a goal line stand that ended with three seconds left in the game as Missouri turned it over on downs. The Tigers came in averaging 34.8 points a game. Missouri’s Tyler Badie, the SEC’s leading rusher, was held to 41 yards, while starting quarterback Connor Bazelak did not see action due to an injury. Also, Georgia linebacker Nolan Smith’s blocked punt resulted in a safety.
The Bulldogs are second in the league in Total Offense (531.5 yards/game) and Yards Per Play (7.6). Thanks in part to the performance of senior QB Stetson Bennett so far, the Bulldogs are third the league in Passing Offense (350.5 yards/game). Bennett has five touchdowns and one interception plus four rushing touchdowns this year. He is completing 74 percent of his passes and has 1,224 yards going into the Missouri contest.
