No. 1 ranked Georgia football lit up lowly Missouri football on Saturday 43-6 at home. After a bit of a slow start, Georgia came out and dominated the Tigers the rest of the way, proving to college football fans everywhere why they are the No. 1 team in the country.

Quarterback Stetson Bennett was 13-for-19 with 255 yards and two touchdowns. He took a lot more downfield shots than he typically does on the day thanks in part to the return of receivers like Arian Smith and Jermaine Burton, who have been out with injury.

JT Daniels also made his return to the field after a month of battling a lat injury. He also had a touchdown pass on the day, but threw a bad interception in what looked like was the result of not playing in a month.

The Georgia defense continued to dominate and had the advantage with Missouri starting quarterback Connor Bazelak being out of the game. Tyler Macon and Brady Cook were admirable on the day for the Tigers but were no match for the historic Dawg defense.

Here are three takeaways from this dominant win for Georgia:
