Delayed Bulldogs-Tigers Matchup Now Set For Saturday

The Georgia-Missouri game in Columbia, Mo., was originally scheduled to be played on Nov. 14. However, the contest was postponed on Nov. 11 due to a combination of positive COVID-19 tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Tiger football program, consistent with Southeastern Conference virus management requirements. This past weekend, Missouri rallied to top Arkansas 50-48 giving the Tigers five wins in their last six contests and three in a row.

The Bulldogs experienced their second postponement of the year last Saturday. Vanderbilt was scheduled to come to Athens but the game was postponed until Dec. 19 because the Commodores’ squad size and position availability fell below the league’s roster minimum requirements.

Before this season, the last Georgia game to be postponed before this season came in 2001. The Bulldogs were scheduled to host Houston on Sept. 15 that season. But the game was postponed and then played on Dec. 1 following the Sept. 11 attack. That year, Georgia already had an open date on Sept. 22 so the team went three weeks between its second and third games. This is the latest regular season game for the Bulldogs (coincidentally also on Dec. 12) since 1931. That year USC topped Georgia in L.A.

Georgia Leads Series History With The Tigers

The Bulldogs hold a 8-1 edge in the series history with Missouri. The first meeting came in the 1960 Orange Bowl in Miami, and the Bulldogs posted a 14-0 victory to cap a 10-1 season under coach Wallace Butts. The Bulldogs have faced the Tigers just nine times because they did not play again until Missouri joined the SEC in 2012. That year, the Tigers played host to Georgia in their first-ever SEC contest.

1960: W, 14-0 (Miami, Fla.) 2015: W, 9-6 (Athens)
2012: W, 41-20 (Columbia, Mo.) 2016: W, 28-27 (Columbia)
2013: L, 41-26 (Athens) 2017: W, 53-28 (Athens)
2014: W, 34-0 (Columbia) 2018: W, 43-29 (Columbia)
2019: W, 27-0 (Athens)

2019 Flashback: No. 6 Georgia Blanks Missouri 27-0
