Top-ranked Georgia heads to Missouri on Saturday to face the Tigers in its second true road game of the season.

The Bulldogs are coming off an underwhelming 39-22 victory over Kent State last week.

Missouri is coming off a brutal loss at Auburn, where running back Nathaniel Peat fumbled the ball while reaching for the pylon and what would have been the winning score in overtime. Instead, the Tigers were saddled with a 17-14 loss to open Southeastern Conference play.

Georgia leads the series 10-1. Missouri’s only win in 11 tries against Georgia came in 2013. The largest margin of victory in the series came last year when the Bulldogs rolled 43-6.
