Barry Odom, Derek Dooley and Drew Lock missed chances to secure an upset victory Saturday as Missouri lost 43-29 to No. 2 Georgia at Memorial Stadium.
Lock threw for 221 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in front of 15 NFL scouts. Instead of firmly entering himself into the Heisman race and beating a ranked team, he completed just 47 percent of his passes and had issues with ball security.
Georgia gave Missouri several gifts in the first half, and the Tigers offense was unable to capitalize. Tigers cornerback Christian Holmes picked off Jake Fromm on the Bulldogs’ opening drive, giving Missouri the ball at its own 39.
