Georgia-Missouri: TV, online, radio information
Georgia took a slight lead in the race for the SEC East championship with its victory Saturday against Florida.
Georgia is the only one-loss team in the division, with Florida and Missouri on the heels of the Bulldogs with two losses apiece. An upset victory by Missouri this weekend could produce a three-way tie in the loss column at the top of the East, but a Georgia victory essentially eliminates the Tigers.
Also worth watching Saturday is the Vanderbilt-Florida game, which starts at noon on ESPN. A Gators loss would give Georgia a chance to win the East by defeating Missouri.
Missouri stumbled out of the gate this season, losing 37-31 at Wyoming in the season opener Aug. 31. The Tigers followed that with five consecutive victories, leading with a 38-7 home victory against West Virginia. Since those five wins, the streaky Tigers have lost two consecutive, both on the road. Vanderbilt won 21-14 and Kentucky 29-7.
Mizzou quarterback Kelly Bryant strained his hamstring in the loss to Kentucky, but indication from Missouri are that he will play against Georgia. Coach Barry Odom told in-state media outlets that Bryant is “on track to play” but will be a “game-time decision.”
