The Georgia Bulldogs have a major test on Saturday.
The Georgia Bulldogs are heading into another huge game on Saturday afternoon coming off the blowout win over Ole Miss where they were able to pull away from the opening whistle.
As Kirby Smart has said time and time again though, humility is just a week away in the SEC, and with the Missouri Tigers arriving to town trying to keep their season alive, Georgia has to be ready to go against another very good team who is capable of beating the Dawgs on any given day.
If the Bulldogs are going to avoid the same fate of a home loss after a big win, there is a few things they have to do. Here are the three keys to victory for Georgia.
Do Not Let Austin Simmons Settle In and Get Hot
The Bulldogs need to make things uncomfortable for Missouri from the first drive of the game, and that starts with getting pressure on the quarterback and not allowing him to sit and make throws from a clean pocket. They did a wonderful job doing this against Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss, but Austin Simmons is one of the best in the country as well.

Pressuring Simmons early and baiting him into poor decisions will be the biggest difference maker in ensuring that this game is never in doubt from the first quarter on.
Expose Weak Missouri Pass Defense
In terms of yardage per game, the Tigers come into Athens with one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and while Missouri has been solid against the run, they are ner the bottom of the conference giving up 234.7 yards through the air per game.
Georgia obviously wants to run the ball, but they need to find a way to keep the momentum rolling for Gunner Stockton and be able to throw the ball with a whole lot of success. If Stockton is on, it will be tough for the Dawgs to be beaten.
Continue to Win Turnover Battle
While there were many reasons why Georgia lost to Auburn, turnovers were at the top of the last. Last week, there was no beating this team despite turnovers, but winning 2-0 just secured the fact that it was going to be a blowout.
If the Bulldogs can both force turnovers like they have been doing and be able to protect the football when on offense, they are going to have a great chance to win this game.
