ATHENS, Ga. — Stetson Bennett threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Georgia’s offense amassed 505 total yards, and the defense was as stout as ever in the top-ranked Bulldogs’ 43-6 win over Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium.

Georgia (9-0, 7-0 SEC), which clinched the SEC East Division championship last week, didn’t lead from start to finish as it has in nearly every game this season. Missouri (4-5, 1-4) struck first Saturday, taking advantage of a long punt return to go up 3-0 on a Harrison Mevis 36-yard field goal with 5:50 left in the first quarter.

Another Dominating Effort By The Defense: Top-ranked Georgia, the national leader in Scoring Defense (6.6 ppg), held Missouri to just two field goals in a 43-6 win to improve to 9-0 (7-0 SEC). Also, there was a goal-line stand that ended with three seconds left in the game when the Tigers turned it over on downs. UM came in averaging 34.8 points a game.

Georgia now has held eight of its nine opponents to their lowest scoring tally of year (USC is the exception). The 59 points allowed through nine games is the lowest in a season at this point since 1971 (53 points).

Georgia trailed for only the second time this year (@Auburn 3-0 in 1st quarter for a total of 5:29) when Missouri made a 35-yard FG with 5:50 left in the opening quarter. It was a seven play, 33-yard drive. Today, Georgia trailed for 5:08 before responding on its next drive for a 7-3 lead with 42 seconds left in the 1st quarter. Tiger RB Tyler Badie came in averaging a league-leading 123.6 ypg, and he finished with just 41 yards.
