No. 1 Georgia survives scare from Missouri in 26-22 win

Georgia didn’t take the lead until there was just over four minutes to go in a 26-22 win over Missouri on Saturday night.

The Tigers hung valiantly with the Bulldogs but Georgia’s superior talent showed through in the fourth quarter. Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington made huge plays in the second half and the pressure that Missouri got on Stetson Bennett most of the evening dissipated in the fourth quarter.

Georgia’s go-ahead score came on a one-yard dive by Daijuan Edwards. That was set up by a catch and run from Bowers after Bennett finally got the time to make some plays down the field.
