Georgia answered questions about a potential post-win letdown with a dominant first half against Missouri, taking a 31-7 halftime lead. A game-opening interception helped the Bulldogs’ defense contain the Tigers, while Gunner Stockton and Nate Frazier powered the offense.

By the Numbers
  • Georgia led 31-7 at halftime.
  • Gunner Stockton completed 12 of 18 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown.
  • Nate Frazier rushed for 47 yards and 2 touchdowns.
  • Georgia held Missouri to 115 total yards in the first half.
Yes, But

The game was still unfinished at halftime, so Georgia’s strong start was not yet a final result. The Bulldogs also faced a reminder of the danger of a letdown: after a major road win earlier in the season, they were upset by Auburn the following week.

Bottom Line

Georgia’s first-half performance sent a clear message: the Bulldogs remain a serious contender for the SEC title and the College Football Playoff—but they still had to finish the job against Missouri.
