Georgia is 5-0 at home on the season and will host No. 14 Missouri this coming weekend.
“It’s going to be a big one next week,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. ”That’s a really good team, I’ve always said they’re extremely physical, big, tough. Eli does an incredible job on offense. Nobody is playing better on offense right now in the country than they are with their quarterback. We looked at them during the off week. We took a day and said, ‘Hey, we’re going to look at these guys before we move to Florida,’ and they’re good. They’ll be well rested coming into our place.”
