Georgia's 48-21 win over Missouri draws rare praise from Kirby Smart
"A lot of good." Smart, ever the perfectionist, still wants more out of this Georgia team, who beat Missouri 48-21.
Key points
- Georgia's defense consistently got off the field in the first half and held the Missouri offense in check.
- "Great start to the game," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a postgame on-field interview.
- Entering Saturday, Missouri had allowed just five rushing touchdowns all season.
Smart praised all of Georgia's running backs, which helped UGA rush for 182 yards and five touchdowns on the day.
He won't be happy about allowing Missouri to score 21 points, but Georgia's starting defense played very well.
Additional details
- Missouri put up some points in the second half with the game well out of reach.
- 22 Missouri Tigers and Georgia did not look back from there.
- The Georgia special teams set up quarterback Gunner Stockton, who had an efficient two touchdown performance, with short fields.
- Georgia linebacker Raylen Wilson had an interception and set Georgia up for the Bulldogs' first touchdown against the No.
