In a thrilling SEC East matchup, the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs managed to secure their 26th consecutive win against the No. 14 Missouri Tigers with a final score of 30-21. The Bulldogs had to overcome a 13-10 deficit early in the second half to stage a comeback victory. Georgia's defensive tackle, Nazir Stackhouse, played a crucial role in protecting their slim lead with a fourth-quarter interception. However, a penalty against Bulldogs linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. pushed Georgia back after Stackhouse's impressive run. Despite the setback, the Bulldogs managed to extend their lead to 30-21 with a field goal by freshman Peyton Woodring.The Tigers fought hard throughout the game, with Cody Schrader's 12-yard scoring run and Brady Cook's 2-point conversion pass to Luther Burden III narrowing Georgia's lead to 24-21. Cook displayed dual-threat skills, contributing both as a passer and a rusher. However, Missouri's efforts were not enough to overcome the Bulldogs' resilience.
Georgia's running game struggled, but Kendall Milton's 15-yard run provided a much-needed boost. The Bulldogs' defense also came through with another interception by safety Javon Bullard late in the game. Despite the victory, Georgia's performance did not come as a surprise, as they had to rally from a 10-point deficit to defeat Missouri in their previous encounter.
Looking ahead, Georgia is expected to maintain their No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll, while Missouri may see a drop but should remain in the Top 25. Georgia's next challenge will be against the No. 11 Mississippi, while Missouri will face No. 19 Tennessee in their upcoming games.
