Two SEC teams looks to rebound after losses in Week 6 as the Missouri Tigers travel to Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga., to face the Georgia Bulldogs.
Then Georgia took the ball 68 yards on 16 plays in 7:38 to tie the game on a 29-yard Marshall Morgan field goal. He rushed 64 times for 410 yards (6.4 per carry) and five touchdowns a year ago and already has topped a few of those numbers this season with 63 rushes for 421 yards (6.7) and four scores. They had allowed an average of only 13.5 points per game before frustrating quarterback Greyson Lambert and the Bulldogs. He came very close to scoring a touchdown - closer than either side would come the rest of the half - but was halted at the 1 by Georgia’s Kenneth Towns. The game will also be airing as a live stream online.
The Tigers managed just 164 yards and six first downs on 48 plays for the night, with only 37 yards on 23 plays coming after halftime. Which defense is left on the field longer will ultimately decide this game.
Missouri’s defense has only surrendered a high of 145 rushing yards against opponents. The Tigers fell to the Bulldogs (5-2, 3-2 SEC) after allowing Georgia’s Marshall Morgan to kick a field goal of his own to send the Tigers to their second straight defeat. He gained nothing, meaning Georgia not only didn’t get the first down, but couldn’t even try a field goal.

Turning point: One play before Morgan’s field goal, video review overturned what initially had been ruled a Missouri interception. Their next drive ended when Missouri stopped them on a fourth and one at the Tigers 45-yard line. But once again the defense came to play as Parrish stopped Tigers receiver Keyon Dilosa in the backfield for a 4-yard loss. And when Briscoe wasn’t in on Georgia’s final defensive series of the first half, the Bulldogs did get torched. Lock completed 11 of 26 passes for 143 yards but connected on just two passes in the second half.
Terry Goodwin greased the wheels with an 18-yard punt return to midfield, then Malcolm Mitchell cashed in a third-and-7 with an 8-yard gain and drew a 15-yard pass interference call on Aarion Penton to get Georgia into striking range.
