At Ole Miss, exactly one Georgia wide receiver caught a pass. One. His name is Talyn Taylor, he is a sophomore, and he caught 4 of them for 140 yards and 3 touchdowns, which is a fine way to be lonesome. I have been to family reunions where one aunt did all the cooking, and nobody went hungry, but everybody did keep an eye on her health.<\/p>\n The rest of the room sounds like a waiting room. The Journal-Constitution reported that Georgia's injury list for Missouri includes Craig Dandridge with a hamstring and Thomas Blackshear with a collarbone, and that Kirby Smart described his wideouts as dinged up all across the board. Isiah Canion came back at Ole Miss after missing five games, and Smart on Monday called him a work in progress. After the game in Oxford, Smart put it plainer still. "Yeah, we don't have enough depth," he said. The league's availability report comes out tonight.<\/p>\n The unlocked door at Missouri's house is the one Georgia has the fewest folks to walk through.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Now, this would be a small matter most weeks, because Georgia would rather run the ball than eat. The desk's count had the Dogs running on 73 percent of their snaps at Oxford. But Missouri is built backward for that. The Tigers allow 95.8 rushing yards a game, third in the SEC, and UGA Wire reported Smart called their front one of the most disruptive in the league. Where Missouri leaks is in the air, 234.7 passing yards allowed, twelfth in the conference. The unlocked door is the one Georgia has the fewest folks to walk through.<\/p>\n Taylor does not seem troubled. He told reporters Tuesday that receivers at Georgia do a lot in the run game as well as the passing game, and that the offense has weapons all over, good running backs and good tight ends among them. Asked about the touchdown he caught after Gunner Stockton scrambled, he said, "We practiced it every single day." Stockton threw 15 passes in Oxford, completed 9, and 4 went for touchdowns. Georgia's athletic department said Wednesday he is a Walter Camp Player of the Year semifinalist. It helps to have a man who does not waste throws.<\/p>\n The bookmakers are not worried either. Georgia opened as a 13.5-point favorite and has grown to 15.5, and ESPN's FPI gives the Dogs an 88.8 percent chance. Our own desk simulation is the skunk at the picnic. It says Georgia 28, Missouri 22, and has the Dogs covering only 26.9 percent of the time. I would not bet the truck on a simulation. But I would notice that Missouri brings a pass rusher with 7 sacks, and that Georgia's passing game presently has one address.<\/p>\n Written in the tradition of Lewis Grizzard, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 1946\u20131994.<\/em><\/p>\n Hear the desk read tonights report on Radio Free Albany, WPFQ 96.7.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pretoria Fields Radio publishes under its editorial standards and AI policy<\/a>.
