Georgia vs Missouri Game Preview

Why Georgia Will Win

Oh great, now you made it mad.

All of a sudden, Georgia can’t play. It’s vulnerable, it’s not worthy of being in the mix for the national championship, there’s no reason to keep playing the season, and all because it allowed Kent State to score two touchdowns.

Georgia dominated the Golden Flashes in the 39-22 win. It gave up one big pass play in the second quarter, it settled for too many field goals, and overall, it didn’t represent the team’s best work.

What’s Going To Happen

Come on.

Georgia is fine, Missouri’s offense isn’t doing enough, and this should get ugly fast.
