The Georgia football team is 3-0 in 2016 after a thrilling come from behind win over the Missouri Tigers.

It wasn’t easy, but the Georgia Bulldogs managed to move to 5-1 all time against Missouri, with Jacob Eason making his first SEC road start against a tough defensive opponent.

The favored Bulldogs struggled all night in several aspects of the game, most noticeably, Nick Chubb only rushing for 63 yards and no touchdowns. But Chubb wasn’t the only Georgia player having issues against the Tigers.

This was definitely a much different Missouri team than Georgia has seen in the past two seasons. A more wide-open offensive attack definitely seemed to take the UGA secondary by surprise, and Tigers quarterback Drew Lock is greatly improved over last season.

The Bulldogs escaped with a narrow last-minute win, and that’s all fans really wanted to know for now. But there are some things that could definitely be seen, both good and bad, to take into the next few games.

Here are three big takeaways from the win over Mizzou.
