Georgia has won nine in a row in the series. The Tigers lone win came in 2013 in Athens when then No. 25 Missouri upset No. 7 Georgia 41-26. Last year, No. 1 Georgia rallied for a 26-22 win in Columbia.
In the 2022 contest, Georgia faced a pair of 13-point deficits in the first half, and the Bulldogs trailed by ten in the fourth quarter following a 56-yard field goal by Tiger kicker Harrison Mevis. The Bulldogs took their first lead with 4:03 left, going up 26-22 on a one-yard plunge by Daijun Edwards that capped a seven-play, 68-yard drive.
