The game will be moved to Dec. 19, SEC Championship Saturday, as both teams will not be in the title game, according to a report from ESPN’s Brett McMurphy

Missouri had to postpone their game with Georgia on that was scheduled for Nov. 14 because of positive COVID-19 testing within the Tigers program.

Now, Georgia will have two makeup games upcoming, with the game versus Missouri likely to be played next week, Dec. 12 now that Vanderbilt is scheduled for championship Saturday.

Report: UGA Preseason All-SEC center Trey Hill out indefinitely

Georgia senior guard Trey Hill is sidelined indefinitely after undergoing two arthroscopic surgeries. Details here

According to a report from 247Sports that has since been confirmed by multiple sources, Georgia senior guard Trey Hill is sidelined indefinitely after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair minor injuries to both knees.

The news comes just a few days after the Bulldogs’ Preseason All-SEC  center was tabbed as the highest-graded interior lineman by Pro Football Focus after his performance in Georgia’s 45-16 win versus South Carolina.

Hill has been Georgia’s anchor at center for 22 straight starts, earning AP All-SEC 2nd team honors in 2019.

The Warner Robins, Georgia, native is out for the Bulldog’s matchup with Vanderbilt this Saturday and will likely miss the rest of the season including the Missouri makeup game that will either be played Dec. 12 or Dec 19 and bowl appearance.

Georgia can turn to sophomore guard Warren Ericson, who started the 2019 Sugar Bowl versus Baylor at center and has seen time at both right guard and center this season, or true freshman Sedric Van Pran, the top center prospect of the 2020 recruiting class.

If Hill was limited by these knee injuries, however minor they may be, it’s smart to clean up things through surgery now as he is set to enter the 2021 NFL Draft this spring.

I’ll miss watching Hill dominate defensive lines, but the Bulldogs should be in good hands with Ericson and Van Pran moving forward.

Here’s a look back at one of Hill’s best plays versus South Carolina last week.
