ABOUT THE OFFENSE …

Sacks by Georgia on Saturday, one each by Jake Ganus, Davin Bellamy, Leonard Floyd ad Sterling Bailey. The four sacks is a season-high. Georgia entered with only nine in its first six games.
32
Consecutive-game starting streak by Jordan Jenkins, which was snapped last night because he couldn’t play. Jenkins had also played in all previous 46 games since he arrived at Georgia. The team’s longest starting streak now belongs to John Theus, at 27.
5
First-year players for Georgia who started on defense last night, because the first play was the goal-line formation: DT Trent Thompson, DT DaQuan Hawkins, ILB Jake Ganus (transfer), OLB Chuks Aamechi (junior college transfer) and CB Rico McGraw.

The number of freshmen who were on Georgia’s first-team base defense at the start of the game: Thompson, cornerback Juwuan Briscoe, nickel back McGraw and safety Johnathan Abram.
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, PART II
126th
Missouri’s rank in total offense – third from the bottom nationally. The Tigers are averaging 290.4 yards per game, and had 164 on Saturday night. Basically, we’re at the point in the season where you are what your numbers are, and on Saturday night Georgia’s offense struggled against a highly-ranked defense, while Georgia’s defense excelled against a badly-ranked offense.
