Twitter reacts: Georgia moves to 9-0 with blowout win over Missouri

Here’s how UGA Twitter reacted to the Dawgs’ win and JT Daniels’ return…

No. 1 Georgia is riding high after a 43-6 win over Missouri on Saturday afternoon. The blowout was completely dominated by the Bulldogs, who move to 9-0 on the season.

Stetson Bennett was once again solid at quarterback, connecting on several big throws, including two touchdown passes. The former walk-on finished 13 of 19 passing for 255 yards and the two scores, while adding 10 yards on 2 carries on the ground.

We did get to see J.T. Daniels take snaps at quarterback after missing time with a lat injury that held him out since Week 4. Daniels completed 7 of 11 passes for 82 yards, one touchdown and one interception in three drives.

Here’s how UGA Twitter reacted to Daniels’ return and the Georgia win:

The Bulldogs went up 33-3 over the Tigers thanks to a touchdown drive to start the second half.

Junior Receiver Kearis Jackson broke free for a 37 yard run and then sophomore wideout Jermaine Burton took a screen into the endzone for his 3rd score of the year.

Burton is moving well after dealing with a groin injury the last several weeks. He’s got two receptions for 64 yards and this touchdown run.

After a slow start, No. 1 Georgia is starting to pull away from Missouri in Athens.

The Bulldogs just had a scoring drive capped by a Jack Podlesny field goal to go up 19-3 late in the second quarter.

Those points are due, in part, to some big plays from running back Kenny McIntosh and tight end Brock Bowers.

McIntosh made his presence felt with this great catch out of the backfield.

Then Bowers took his turn, featuring a nasty stiff arm.

Watch: Georgia gets Missouri safety off blocked punt

Here’s Georgia’s blocked punt that resulted in a Missouri safety…

No. 1 Georgia didn’t get off to the dominant start versus Missouri that we’ve become used to this year. The Tigers were able to stop Georgia’s first possession and scored a field goal on their second drive.

UGA is on a run now, though, after a 35-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett to Arian Smith and this huge special teams play:

That put the Dawgs up 9-3 early in the second quarter.

Georgia injury report ahead of UGA vs. Missouri

Here’s Georgia’s injury status headed into the matchup with Missouri…

No. 1 Georgia (8-0) will face Missouri (4-4) at noon this Saturday in Athens.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a dominant 34-7 win over Florida in Jacksonville and Missouri is coming off of a 37-28 win over Vanderbilt.

Georgia has been dealing with an injury bug since the start of fall camp.

Starting quarterback J.T. Daniels has been down since playing the first quarter at Vanderbilt in Week 4, and the UGA receiver room has been decimated at times throughout the season.

While the Bulldogs haven’t missed a beat thanks to a top defense and the play of Stetson Bennett under center, it’s always a positive to have talented players available.

The good news for Georgia is that both Daniels and several wideouts are getting back to playing shape.

Here’s an updated UGA injury report for the matchup with Missouri:

 

 

5 reasons why Georgia beats Missouri

Here’s why Georgia moves to 9-0 on Saturday…

No. 1 Georgia (8-0) takes on Missouri (4-4) this Saturday at noon in Athens.

The Bulldogs are coming off a dominant 34-7 win over Florida and Missouri travels to Sanford Stadium after a 37-28 win over Vanderbilt.

Here’s five reasons why the Dawgs walk away with a win on Saturday.

 

Florida, Missouri brawl at halftime: suspensions likely

The Florida Gators and Missouri Tigers brawled at halftime of their game. Punches were thrown and suspensions are coming.

The Florida Gators and Missouri Tigers brawled at halftime. The Tigers had a late hit on Florida quarterback Kyle Trask on the final play of the first half. The play didn’t receive a penalty, but Florida was upset with the hit.

Both teams got in a skirmish while they were walking back to their respective locker rooms. Florida head coach Dan Mullen was among those who were fired up at Missouri for the hit. Mullen pumped up the crowd following the brawl in a questionable move.

There will likely be suspensions as a result of the fight. Numerous players were involved and will miss game time. Three players were ejected.

Florida Gators defensive lineman No. 17 Zachary Carter threw punches and will likely be suspended for next week and possibly longer. Carter is a starter and recorded 4.5 sacks last season. Reserve Florida linebacker Antwuan Powell was additionally ejected. This is not what the doctor ordered for the Florida Gators, who already have depleted depth due to COVID-19.

Missouri Tigers defensive lineman Tre Williams was ejected as well. The Missouri Tigers have a bye this week, then they play the Georgia Bulldogs.

The brawl is especially problematic for Florida, who faces the Georgia Bulldogs next week in a key SEC East battle. The winner of the contest will likely advance to the SEC Championship Game. Florida may be without a key defender for the contest.

This is the late hit that started the conflict. Florida players have a right to defend their quarterback, but the brawl was too much. This hit clearly deserved a flag from the officials.

Missouri football head coach Barry Odom fired

According to multiple reports, Barry Odom is out after his fourth season as the Missouri Tigers’ head coach. 

According to multiple reports, Barry Odom is out after his fourth season as the Missouri Tigers’ head coach.

Odom, who tallied a 25-25 record coaching his alma mater, helped secure the Tigers a six-win season in yesterday’s win at Arkansas. His tenure produced a conference record of 13 wins and 19 losses, going winless against division foe Georgia.

The rumors of Odom’s firing have been circulating for the better part of 24 hours, but the news has since been confirmed by ESPN.
