Stat Breakdown: Crockett and Co. did not succumb to the Bulldogs’ run defense

Georgia walked onto Faurot Field on Saturday ranked No. 2 in the country, and for good reason.

The Bulldogs excel on both sides of the ball, and their run-defense is a huge part of that. Through the first three games of the season, their front seven allowed an average of just 101 yards on the ground and had yet to give up a rushing touchdown.

Missouri made sure they wouldn’t walk away saying the same thing.

The running back trio combined with Drew Lock for 172 rushing yards and all four of the Tigers’ touchdowns, and the unit kept Missouri in this one offensively on a day when the passing game was inconsistent at best.
