The Georgia Bulldogs must quickly turn the page again.
The Georgia Bulldogs are headed into another huge game this weekend in a portion of their schedule where it seems like they keep on coming with each week's stakes being higher than the last.
Coming out of the bye week and absolutely handling the Florida Gators before a complete domination of the Ole Miss Rebels, the Dawgs have re-established themselves as the team to beat in the SEC and potentially all of college football. Just as it was right after the win against Alabama though, as Kirby Smart always reminds his team, humility is just a week away in this league.
And the Missouri Tigers coming to town is a whole lot more significant of a test than the Auburn Tigers were last month, so Georgia needs to quickly turn the page and be ready to put their best game on the field if they want to avoid another letdown.
Austin Simmons Has Been Among SEC's Best Quarterbacks This Season
While the Tigers are coming off a close loss last week to the Texas Longhorns, that could make them even more dangerous than the Dawgs thought they could be at the beginning of the year. With now three losses and in absolute desperation mode, Missouri is a team capable of beating you, and it all starts with their quarterback.

Former Ole Miss transfer Austin Simmons has been absolutely sensational this year, throwing for more than 2,200 yards while competing around 62 percent of his passes and throwing 18 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions while looking capable of making a whole lot of NFL type throws.
Once seen as a potential star under Lane Kiffin for the Rebels, Simmons wound up losing his job to Trinidad Chambliss last year and it has been a bumpy road for him to land here. But he has without a doubt arrived as one of the best quarterbacks in the conference, and if the Bulldogs are not ready, he can come in and shred this defense.
After handling Chambliss this past week though, Georgia should be more than capable of giving Simmons a whole lot of trouble as well in a game that will be played between the hedges in Athens.
The Dawgs are a significant favorite for a reason, but if they overlook the Tigers, Simmons is capable of making them pay and giving Georgia everything it can handle in its own building.
