Georgia’s defense held Luther Burden to just fifty-three yards on the night, which is quite impressive, given that the Tigers’ star receiver was averaging about 100 yards per game prior to facing Georgia. What’s even more impressive is that Georgia made a significant adjustment to mitigate Burden and his big-play ability. The Dawgs’ defense moved Kamari Lassiter, who traditionally plays outside corner, to the slot where he could personally match up with Burden. However, Lassiter couldn’t cover Burden the entire game. In fact, a majority of Burden’s yards were allowed by sophomore defensive back Daylen Everette—39 to be precise—on a play where Mizzou caught Georgia’s defense off guard.
