The Georgia vs Missouri football game, which was scheduled for this weekend in Columbia, Missouri, has been postponed, the SEC announced.
The reason being positive COVID tests and contact tracing within the Tigers’ football program.
The No. 12 ranked Bulldogs were set to take on Missouri Saturday at noon in a game that was to be televised on the SEC Network.
The SEC released a statement:
The Georgia at Missouri football game of November 14 has been postponed due to combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Missouri football program, consistent with Southeastern Conference COVID-19 management requirements.
Because Missouri has a game tentatively scheduled for December 12, the opportunity to reschedule the Georgia at Missouri game will need to be evaluated. The rescheduling of games on the remaining SEC football schedule may include December 19 as a playing date.
With Missouri already playing Vanderbilt on December 12, the date the conference set aside for make-up games, this game may be forced to be played on December 19, the date of the SEC Championship, per the SEC’s release.
Alabama at LSU and Texas A&M at Tennessee, both scheduled for this weekend, have also been postponed for the same reasons.
Georgia plays at home against Mississippi State the following weekend.
