The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs overcame a slow start to defeat the No. 12 Missouri Tigers, 30-21, in Sanford Stadium. Georgia moves to 9-0 thanks to a big second half. The Bulldogs outscored Missouri, 20-11, in the final 30 minutes.
Kirby Smart and Georgia turned the tide in the fourth quarter with a pair of interceptions. The Nazir Stackhouse and Javon Bullard interceptions helped Georgia build a nine-point lead and run out the clock.
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck avoided turnovers and connected with tight end Oscar Delp and receiver Dominic Lovett for touchdowns. Georgia kicker Peyton Woodring came in clutch, making all three of his field-goal attempts including a 48-yarder in the fourth quarter.
Missouri put up quite a fight. The Tigers outrushed Georgia, 151-131, and slowed the Georgia offense on several occasions.
Georgia football social media was fired up after the Bulldogs defeated Missouri at home:
Missouri earned Georgia's respect

Georgia's third margin of victory under 10 points this year
Missouri is legit! It’s good to see UGA getting tested
Can’t say they aren’t battle tested and won’t be for the next few weeks
It’s great to be a Georgia Bulldawg!

Carson Beck was sharp in win
Carson Beck is really impressive. He wasn't as "dialed in" as we have seen him in some games. However, he doesn't make big mistakes while he is trying to find rhythm.
