The decisive drive was aided by a pass interference call on Missouri cornerback Aarion Penton. Georgia got it. Then almost gave it back. If he can’t find room to run, the Bulldogs will have to go to the air with inconsistent quarterback Greyson Lambert.

So here we are. And 15 minutes (please no more) left to decide which it’s going to be. Lock took over for Mauk, who was suspended indefinitely three weeks ago and has yet to return.
Earlier in the quarter, Missouri’s defense came through with a stop deep in Georgia territory, but the Tigers’ awful return game resurfaced when Cam Hilton couldn’t hang onto the punt and Georgia recovered it under a scrum. Morgan had kicks of 29, 24 and 34 yards.
But it could be worse. The Tigers lead the SEC in pass defense and scoring defense, giving up only 13.5 points per game.
Kentrell Brothers already has 10 tackles and Michael Scherer has seven. Their next drive ended when Missouri stopped them on a fourth and one at the Tigers 45-yard line.
Mizzou and Georgia are looking to bounce back following last Saturday’s performance. They are bold projections for what might, despite being unlikely, happen.
NO HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE: The road team has three straight wins in the Missouri-Georgia series.
Georgia kicker Marshall Morgan provided all the points with three fields goals in the win. Georgia’s had it for 16:46.
Can they transition now from an injured Chubb to Sony Michel? Two Russell Hansbrough runs brought Mizzou only to the 2.
Missouri got points, which is important. More importantly, neither team had a touchdown. Missouri is hoping to avoid its first since the end of 2012. The loser likely will be eliminated from the division title race with a third conference defeat. We don’t know. I think the key to that is really keeping an eye on him and just seeing how he’s doing. However, because there’s technically still a chance, it has the makings of a great game. Certainly looks like he’s good to go.
Georgia outside linebacker and sack leader Jordan Jenkins is doubtful for the game with a groin strain.
The Tigers’ flying start was grounded forthwith.
