ATHENS — The Georgia football defense faces its stiffest challenge yet, facing Missouri QB Drew Lock.
The No. 2-ranked Bulldogs won’t be taking the undefeated Tigers lightly, needing only to recall their most recent trip to Missouri.
Georgia needed a touchdown pass from Jacob Eason to Isaiah McKenzie from the Tigers’ 20-yard-line on a fourth-and-10 play to secure a 28-27 victory.
Both teams bring a 3-0 mark into this week’s SEC showdown of unbeaten teams.
