Mizzou Gets Chance at Redemption Against Dawgs
Since the downfall of the Saban dynasty at Alabama, no team has filled the void as college football’s clear top dog.
But Saban’s former protege, Kirby Smart, has gotten closer than anyone to recreating the Crimson Tide’s former stretch of dominance.
“They’re the benchmark for the league right now,” Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz said of Georgia. “It’s what everybody in our conference is chasing, and he does it the right way and always has done it the right way.”
The Dawgs have made five College Football Playoff appearances and won a pair of national titles since Smart arrived in Athens back in December of 2015.
