COLUMBIA, Mo. — Get ready for a turf fight.
No. 1 Georgia is feeling defensive ahead of Saturday’s showdown with No. 14 Missouri. The Bulldogs (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) will meet the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 SEC) between the hedges of Athens’ Sanford Stadium.
The hosts have won 25 straight games and 23 in a row at home. Another win in Athens would match Georgia’s program record for consecutive home wins.
Mizzou, tabbed No. 12 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season, is poised to be the toughest test for the 'Dawgs streaks yet — even if they’ve downed 11 straight ranked opponents inside friendly confines.
