Missouri vs Georgia: Gameday Get Up from Athens
It's gameday in Athens! Time to get up, and get ready to cheer on the Georgia Bulldogs, as they take on the Missouri Tigers in a must-win matchup for the Dawgs.
You know, it's starting to feel like the Bulldog faithful is overlooking this matchup with the Missouri Tigers. In fact, tickets are going for as low as $28 on stubhub.com. Kirby Smart has gone on and on this season about how this team doesn't listen to the "outside noise", so perhaps the not so insane environment will be a non-factor.
Weather
With a high of 55 degrees and a projected game-time temperature of 44 degrees, it will be the first winter football game between the hedges this season. So, buddle up and enjoy perhaps the last night game of the season. Back your jackets, blankets, and scarfs for a pretty cold one in Athens.
Magic Numbers
Prior to senior linebacker, Cale Garrett going down for the season with a pectoral injury against Troy, the Missouri Tigers were allowing just 88.1 YPG, in the three games he's missed, they are giving up 217.0 YPG.
Georgia is set for a big day on the ground.

How to Watch/Listen
The 7:00 EST kickoff is set to be covered by ESPN with lead commentator Steve Levy on the call, with Brian Greese, Todd McShay, and Molly McGrath. As always you can listen to the game on the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network.
Key Matchups
There are a handful of key matchups in this football game, but if you were forced to isolate one, in particular, I'd have to say it's Kelly Bryant vs his hamstring. All jokes aside, if Missouri has any shot of keeping pace with Georgia, they are going to have to move the football on offense and their only shot at doing so is with the dual-threat nature of Kelly Bryant. If he's really 75%, like he claims, I just don't know if Missouri can score.
Enjoy the gameday in Athens!
