Georgia takes on Mizzou between the hedges on Saturday. The Bulldogs, No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, can clinch a spot in the SEC Championship Game with a win plus losses by three of Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas.
The Bulldogs announced their team captains for Saturday’s game at Sanford Stadium. On the offense, it’s running back Nate Frazier and left tackle Earnest Greene III. Frazier shone in Week 10’s game against Ole Miss, taking 16 carries for 107 yards in a 42-7 win. Greene, Georgia‘s left tackle, has anchored the front five all season long and was named the SEC’s offensive lineman of the year after the win against the Rebels.
Georgia’s defensive captains are safety Khalil Barnes and defensive lineman Elijah Griffin. Barnes recorded three tackles, a tackle for a loss, and a pass deflection against Ole Miss. Griffin made four tackles in a game where the Rebels were held to just 252 yards of total offense.
With three games to go, including Saturday’s against the Tigers, the Bulldogs look to be in good shape for another appearance in the College Football Playoff. They’ll wrap up the regular season with a trip to South Carolina before returning home to face Georgia Tech in the latest edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.
