No. 1 Georgia stumbled out of the gates of Missouri, trailing 16-6 at halftime after struggling offensively and turning the football over twice. Missouri entered just 2-2 after a heartbreaking loss at Auburn last week, but the Tigers looked like a defensive juggernaut in the first half as the Bulldogs faced their biggest deficit of the season.
The last time Georgia came back from a double-digit halftime deficit to win a game was in the 2018 Rose Bowl when the Dawgs trailed 31-17 before winning 54-48 to clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Georgia had just four first downs on its first six possessions as quarterback Stetson Bennett completed 10 of 24 passes. The Dawgs also looked surprisingly vulnerable defensively. Following three-and-outs on Missouri’s first two possessions, the Tigers scored on their next four series with a 9-play, 81-yard touchdown drive. They squandered another touchdown-scoring opportunity at the 1-yard line late in the second quarter, settling for a field goal instead. Will it hit Mizzou again?
