2012 Georgia Vs Missouri Highlights: Aaron Murray, Jarvis Jones Leads Bulldogs Back

The Georgia Bulldogs beat the Missouri Tigers thanks to solid quarterback play by Aaron Murray and two big turnovers forced by Jarvis Jones.

Georgia Vs. Missouri Final Score: Bulldogs Explode In Second Half To Win 41-20

The No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs scored 32 second-half points en route to a 41-20 victory over the Missouri Tigers on Saturday at Faurot Field, spoiling the Tigers' debut as new members of the Southeastern Conference.

The Tigers actually outgained the Bulldogs offensively, 433 yards to 356 yards, and seemed primed for the upset when they took a 20-17 lead on a field goal with 3:11 to go in the third quarter. But the Bulldogs pulled ahead 24-20 with 1:38 to play in the third on an 11-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Murray to receiver Marlon Brown.

After a Georgia field goal made it 27-20 three minutes into the fourth quarter, Bulldogs linebacker Jarvis Jones intercepted Mizzou quarterback James Franklin and returned it 21 yards to the one-yard line. Todd Gurley ran it into the end zone one play later to make it 34-20, and the Bulldogs were on their way to a rout.

Box Score Hero: Brown, who led the Bulldogs with eight receptions for 106 yards and a couple touchdowns.

Rankings Ramifications: It's unlikely this game will have any impact on Georgia's rankings. No. 8 Arkansas will likely fall after losing to Louisiana-Monroe, while South Carolina, tied for No. 9 with idle West Virginia, beat an overmatched East Carolina squad 48-10. No team ahead of the Bulldogs figures to fall far enough to move them up in the rankings.

But Did They Cover? The Bulldogs were three-point favorites heading into the game, so yes, they covered handily.

Next Week's Schedule: Georgia will next host Florida Atlantic on Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Missouri will face Arizona State at home on Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. ET.

VIDEO: Georgia Fans Chant 'Old Man Football' While Beating Mizzou

Sheldon Richardson, you have entered your name into Georgia football lore.

After the Mizzou defensive tackle declared Georgia's style of play to resemble that of "old man football" and "Big Ten football" earlier in the week, Mark Richt and UGA fans have adopted senior citizen status as a symbol of honor. Silver britches, silver hair.

Georgia overcame a shaky opening half via a decisive conclusion to rudely welcome their new SEC East mates, and as the clock ran down, the many Georgia fans in attendance let it ring out:

Mark Richt has lost control of aging, mortality and the impending heat death of the universe.

Missouri Now Trying Bounce Passes, Ball Still Running Away

This about sums up the Missouri-Georgia game.

Earlier, the ball tried to escape. And I'm pretty sure it's trying to run away again. At this point, I can't blame the ball for wanting to get the heck out of dodge.

Sentient Football Nearly Escapes Georgia, Missouri Game

Rarely do we consider the sport from the perspective of the football. Maybe it has somewhere to be, perhaps a date ... and finds the perfect opportunity to try and escape:

Rats! Almost made it. But escaping for nearly 15 yards is fairly impressive for a football.

Mizzou Tailgating: Very Strange

The above item cannot be explained. Let's just move on. (Yes, there are plenty of normal tailgating pics from Mizzou today. But they do not involve vacuum cleaners.)

As we learned this offseason, drinks in Columbia can be really, really jumbo. Either way, this is a very different presentation than what Texas A&M's offering.

Uh oh. Not SEC level. twitter.com/slmandel/statu…

And nobody's more confused by all this than newcomers from Georgia:

#Mizzou not to par w/ #SEC tailgating yet. Check pic of parking lot next to stadium 6 hours before kickoff.yfrog.com/ocgcphij
