ATHENS, GA — The University of Missouri Tigers suffered perhaps their worst defeat of the 2026 season, when they were thoroughly dominated in a 48-21 defeat by No. 1-ranked Georgia, Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium.
Georgia scored three touchdowns in the first quarter to jump out to a quick 21-0 lead and never looked back. The Tigers scored once in the first half, but still trailed 31-7 at halftime.
The Bulldogs continued their dominance through the third and fourth quarters, before finally calling off the dogs in the final minutes of the game.
Georgia is 9-1 on the year and maintained its sole possession of first place in the SEC, with a now 7-1 record in league play. Mizzou fell to 6-4 overall and 3-4 in conference play.
The one bright spot for Mizzou was quarterback Austin Simmons, who completed 17-of-25 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Mizzou defense gave up 468 yards and allowed Georgia to score six touchdowns.
