Eli Drinkwitz and his Missouri Tigers walked into Sanford Stadium ranked as the No. 12 team in the nation, according to the College Football Committee, and to their credit, they sure played like it. But alas, it wasn’t enough to dethrone the back-to-back national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs.
It’s not like everything went Georgia’s way yesterday, though. Game planning around a potential Biletnikoff level wide receiver in Luther Burden is a tough task. One that forced Georgia’s secondary to move some things around. It seems that the defensive coaching staff had Lassiter play in the slot specifically to counter Burden and his explosive ability.
