What Missouri media is saying about Georgia ahead of Saturday’s matchup

Georgia (6-2) is set to visit Missouri (5-3) in a rescheduled matchup at noon on Saturday, televised on the SEC Network.

The game was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 but positive COVID-19 testing within the Tigers program caused the game to be postponed.

The Bulldogs will see the field for the first time since a 45-16 win at South Carolina two weeks ago after last week’s game versus Vanderbilt was also postponed due to more positive COVID-19 testing.

The Tigers are coming off of a 50-48 win versus Arkansas.

Here’s what the Missouri media is saying about Georgia.

The Ultimate Preview: Mizzou vs. Georgia

By Mitchell Forde – Rivals 

“While Georgia may be solid against the run, the Bulldogs have been susceptible through the air this season, especially since star cornerback Richard LeCounte left the lineup due to injury. The Bulldogs are allowing nearly 263 passing yards per game on the season, which ranks No. 100 nationally.”

 

 

Bulldogs bring solidified QB situation, stout defense to Columbia

By Adam Cole – Columbia-Missourian

“Defensively, the Bulldogs bring one of the most stout units in the Southeastern Conference. They’re No. 2 in the SEC in total yards and points allowed this season, and they’re also No. 26 nationally in yards allowed per game. The only unit in the conference that’s statistically better is Alabama, which Missouri lost to in Week 1.”

 

 

Georgia vs. Missouri Prediction, Game Preview 

By Pete Fiutak – College Football News

“The Georgia secondary has been a problem. The defense overall has been great – it’s the second-best in the SEC – and it doesn’t allow a whole slew of big plays, but teams are able to dink and dunk way too consistently. Florida and Alabama each bombed away for over 400 yards, and Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State all pushed past 200 yards.”
