This time, anyway.
Freshman Nick Chubb rushed 38 times for 143 yards and one touchdown as the 13th-ranked Bulldogs shut out No. 23 Missouri 34-0 in Southeastern Conference football Saturday.
Georgia (5-1, 3-1) wore down the Tigers (4-2, 1-1) early, possessing the ball for more than 42 minutes and gaining 379 total yards on 87 plays.
“Everybody said that Georgia was dead without Todd,” Chubb said. “But we proved that we’re still in it.”
