Georgia overwhelms Missouri in 48-21 win

Georgia scored on its first five possessions and built a 31-point lead in the first half, controlling its return to the top of the rankings with a 48-21 victory over Missouri in Athens on November 14. The Bulldogs improved to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the Southeastern Conference; Missouri fell to 6-4 and 3-4 in league play.

Missouri’s opening possession ended with quarterback Austin Simmons intercepted by linebacker Raylen Wilson, whose 30-yard return set Georgia up near the goal line. Frazier scored from four yards out two plays later. Stockton added an eight-yard rushing touchdown, and Frazier capped an 87-yard drive with another short run. A 41-yard Peyton Woodring field goal and Stockton’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Isiah Canion made it 31-0 before Missouri scored just before halftime.

Frazier finished with 72 rushing yards on 14 carries. Stockton completed 18 of 24 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown, in addition to his rushing score. Georgia’s defense limited Missouri to 286 total yards. Simmons threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns, including a late fourth-down scoring pass, as Missouri added points in the second half. The Tigers’ final drive ended after a late fumble and a missed 29-yard field goal.

Georgia has won three straight since losing to Auburn, outscoring Florida, Ole Miss and Missouri 117-36. The Bulldogs visit South Carolina on November 21, with a chance to secure the outright SEC title and a place in the conference championship game. Missouri hosts Kentucky that day.
