He got numerous first downs on Georgia's last drive and scored the game-dominating score with 4:03 excess.

Red zone, hostile line fiasco
It ought not be an unexpected that Georgia couldn't move the ball in the red zone. The battles were there against Samford. Georgia kicked three red zone field objectives last week against Kent State.
It did so again on Saturday against Missouri. Be that as it may, dissimilar to the Kent State game, Georgia couldn't hit on the unstable plays and didn't score its most memorable score until the final quarter. And, surprisingly, that expected a fourth down transformation after the Bulldogs got stoned on third down.
Let this game be proof with respect to why unstable plays matter. Also, why now is the ideal time to become worried about the Georgia hostile line.
Kirby Savvy made it clear coming into the game that the Tigers had a strong cautious front. In any case, you would've thought the Bulldogs were playing against the 2016 Alabama cautious line with the status quo going.
Stetson Bennett was sacked two times and presumably ought to have been brought down significantly more. Bennett's passing numbers weren't perfect, as he completed 24 of 44 for 312 yards.

We'll see proceeding assuming the Bulldogs keep on playing a game of seat juggling with this gathering, particularly after some not exactly uplifting results.
Georgia sorted a few things out late, scoring scores on two successive drives in the final quarter. Daijun Edwards' 1-yard score run provided the Bulldogs with their most memorable lead of the night with 4:03 excess.
Harrison Mevis is cash for Missouri

In any case, Mevis was cash the entire night for the Tigers. He made every one of the five of his field objectives, including a 56-yard field objective toward the beginning of the final quarter.
The Tigers had the option to hit on a few hazardous plays, yet the Bulldogs surrendered just a single score on the evening, which came in the subsequent quarter. The Bulldogs surrendered only two field objectives in the final part. On the night, Missouri had only 294 yards of offense.
It was the primary game the entire season Georgia didn't drive a turnover however the safeguard had the option to stand tall, particularly with Jalen Carter out for a large portion of the evening.

It was an unacceptable presentation for Kelee Ringo, who got boxed out on a 46-yard gathering by Missouri's Mookie Cooper. He likewise had a guarded pass obstruction punishment on a third-and-17 that gave the Tigers a first down.
Hopeless first half

Georgia mishandled two times, giving Missouri six focuses in the half. The Bulldogs likewise surrendered a 63-yard run, the longest play permitted of the time by the Georgia guard. It two times made due with field objectives subsequent to crashing profound into Missouri's side of the field.
Every one of the issues that grew against Kent State were indeed obvious for the Bulldogs on Saturday night against the Tigers.
"They are thumping us off the ball, they are getting us ready front," Shrewd told Cole Cubelic during his halftime interview. "You can't win in the SEC on the off chance that you can't succeed at the line of scrimmage."
Things apparently might have and ought to have been more awful. The Bulldogs broke out a phony field objective to broaden their last drive of the half. Bennett got the principal down as he went through the line immaculate.
Malaki Starks likewise ran down Missouri running back Cody Schrader from behind on the 63-yard rush to handle him barely shy of the end zone. Missouri quickly followed it up with a premature move and at last agreed to a field objective. That play ended up being key in the four-point prevail upon Missouri.
