The game was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 but positive COVID-19 testing within the Tigers program caused the game to be postponed.
The Bulldogs will see the field for the first time since a 45-16 win at South Carolina two weeks ago after last week’s game versus Vanderbilt was also postponed due to more positive COVID-19 testing.
The Tigers are coming off of a 50-48 win versus Arkansas.
Here’s what the Missouri media is saying about Georgia.
The Ultimate Preview: Mizzou vs. Georgia
By Mitchell Forde – RivalsÂ
“While Georgia may be solid against the run, the Bulldogs have been susceptible through the air this season, especially since star cornerback Richard LeCounte left the lineup due to injury. The Bulldogs are allowing nearly 263 passing yards per game on the season, which ranks No. 100 nationally.”
Bulldogs bring solidified QB situation, stout defense to Columbia
By Adam Cole – Columbia-Missourian
“Defensively, the Bulldogs bring one of the most stout units in the Southeastern Conference. They’re No. 2 in the SEC in total yards and points allowed this season, and they’re also No. 26 nationally in yards allowed per game. The only unit in the conference that’s statistically better is Alabama, which Missouri lost to in Week 1.”
Georgia vs. Missouri Prediction, Game PreviewÂ
By Pete Fiutak – College Football News
“The Georgia secondary has been a problem. The defense overall has been great – it’s the second-best in the SEC – and it doesn’t allow a whole slew of big plays, but teams are able to dink and dunk way too consistently. Florida and Alabama each bombed away for over 400 yards, and Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State all pushed past 200 yards.”
Georgia (6-2) visits Missouri (5-3) in a postponed matchup that was originally scheduled for Nov. 14.

The Tigers are coming off of a 50-48 win versus Arkansas where the Tigers gave up 566 yards but managed to pull off a late comeback to stun the Razorbacks.
On the other side, the Bulldogs had an off-week thanks to more positive COVID-19 testing, this time inside the Vanderbilt program.
That game was moved to Dec. 19, so Georgia will see field for the first time since beating South Carolina in Columbia 45-16.

Prediction: Georgia is the healthiest it has been since heading into a matchup with Kentucky on Oct. 31.
Pre-season All-American safety Richard LeCounte and freshman running back Kendall Milton won’t be on the sidelines for Saturday’s game at Missouri, but Pre-season All-SEC First-Team nose tackle Jordan Davis could be back on the field for the Bulldogs.
Either way, Georgia is playing well on both sides of the ball, averaging 38 points per game since the loss to Florida on Nov. 7.
And on defense, Georgia ranks second in the SEC in sacks with 23 and held South Carolina to 16 points two weeks ago.
Georgia’s pass rush will be too much for the Tigers and young quarterback Connor Blazelack. Georgia wins 38-17
