Preview
Kirby Smart’s team made a statement the first few weeks this college football season, but they prepare for another road test this week as they head east to Columbia to take on the unbeaten Missouri Tigers (3-0) on Saturday.
For the Bulldogs, it’s been mostly smooth sailing through the early portion of their schedule.
Two weeks ago presented the first real test for the Bulldogs on the road against a talented South Carolina Gamecocks team led by Will Muschamp. The Bulldogs scored early in that game, neutralizing any hope the Gamecocks had for working their way back into the game. After falling short against Alabama in the National Championship Game last year, the South Carolina win erased doubt detractors had about Georgia as the SEC East favorite this season.
The Tigers are capable of upsetting the Bulldogs, mainly because they boast upperclassmen at key positions on offense.
Senior quarterback Drew Lock has had an efficient yea thus far, completing 69% of his passes for 1,062 yards, 11 touchdowns and just one interception, while adding two touchdowns on the ground. Lock has a pretty talented, 6-foot-3 wide receiver to throw the ball to in Emmanuel Mack. Mack leads the way with 18 receptions, 430 yards and three touchdowns.
Georgia’s defense has to show up in a big way Saturday. The unit only has one sack so far this season, despite the dominant efforts through the first three weeks.
Missouri must avoid getting into a shootout against quarterback Jake Fromm and company. Last week, the Tigers narrowly edged Purdue 40-37 on the road. Kicker Tucker McCann capped off a late drive led by Lock, booting a 25-yard game winning field goal as time expired.
