COLUMBIA, Mo. — In its long and storied history, Missouri has never beaten the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. It still hasn’t as the Georgia Bulldogs erased a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit for a 26-22 come-from-behind win.
The game-winning points were scored by junior Daijun Edwards, who managed to surge into the end zone from a yard out with 4:03 to play. The touchdown and PAT capped a 7-play, 68-yard drive on which the Bulldogs simply had to score.
With Stetson Bennett throwing the ball all over Faurot Field, Georgia never even faced a third-down on critical series. The senior quarterback was a perfect 4-for-4 passing for 61 yards to four different receivers on the drive. Perhaps the biggest one was an 11-yard throw to tight end Brock Bowers that got the Bulldogs to the 1 and set up Edwards’ score.
