COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Isaiah McKenzies last big play made Kirby Smart a winner in his conference debut.Jacob Eason threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to McKenzie on fourth down with 1:31 seconds to play to give No. 16 Georgia a 28-27 victory over Missouri on Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.They never stopped fighting, Smart said. They never stopped believing, and Im proud of that.I appreciate that and were tough on them. We are tough on these kids every day so they respond to it and they did tonight.McKenzie caught 10 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score. He was targeted 16 times in the pass game and also carried the ball twice for 19 yards, with a 6-yard touchdown run near the end of the first quarter.It feels good to be that guy that they can go to and I can make a big play for them and I thank our coaches for believing in me, my team for believing in me and it brings joy to my heart that they believe in me to make big plays for them, he said.After splitting time with senior Greyson Lambert in the Bulldogs first two games, Eason played every snap, completing 29 of 55 passes for 308 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.The Tigers (1-2) turned the ball over five times, including four in the second half. Missouris Drew Lock was 23 of 38 for 376 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.Its tough, Missouri coach Barry Odom said. When you dont win the turnover margin its going to be hard to win.I hurt for my guys ... We didnt make enough plays to win it and I didnt put them in a position to get it done. Im frustrated.Following Easons late touchdown pass, Missouri took over at its own 30-yard line with 1:21 remaining. On the ensuing play, Lock found JMon Moore over the middle for a 20-yard reception. However, Moore fumbled the ball and Georgia defensive back Juwuan Briscoe recovered it. Briscoe finished with three tackles, two fumble recoveries and an interception.Moore had eight catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns, including a 79-yard score that gave the Tigers a 20-14 lead midway through the second quarter.The Bulldogs (3-0) were 0 for 2 on field goal attempts. William Ham missed two field goals wide left, both of which were set up by Missouri interceptions.Georgia defensive back Kirby Choates was ejected late in the fourth quarter for a targeting hit on a bizarre special teams play. Georgia was flagged for both kick-catch interference on the 35-yard punt and Choates targeting hit on Missouri returner Johnathon Johnson. Missouri accepted the targeting penalty, resulting in a first down at the Tigers 44-yard line.TAKEAWAYS:Missouri: After a relatively unproductive output through two weeks, Missouris defensive line was relentless in the trenches, accounting for 22 tackles, including 5 1/2 for loss. After making just five tackles through Missouris first two games, defensive end Charles Harris had seven tackles to go with three sacks.Georgia: Nick Chubb had 38 carries for 143 yards and touchdown against Missouri in 2014, but was somewhat ineffective Saturday with 19 carries for 63 yards. Chubb averaged nearly 6 yards per carry heading into the game, but managed just over 3 yards per rush.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith teams such as No. 13 Iowa and No. 14 Oklahoma losing just ahead of them, the Bulldogs should easily move up a few places in the rankings on Sunday.UP NEXT:Missouri: The Tigers host Delaware State (0-2) next Saturday in the first meeting between the schools.Georgia: The Bulldogs visit No. 19 Ole Miss (1-2, 0-1 SEC) next Saturday.

STILLWATER, Oka. -- To maintain a clear path to the Big 12 Championship, No. 17 Oklahoma State needs to overcome the nations most potent aerial attack and Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes.For Oklahoma State (7-2, 5-1 Big 12, No. 13 CFP), two more wins will set up a showdown with intrastate rival No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3 for the Big 12 title. But getting past Mahomes and Texas Tech (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) on Saturday will be a challenge.Tech ranks second in the nation in total offense (587.1 yards per game) and fourth in scoring, averaging 46.2 points. Mahomes tops the country with 3,886 passing yards and third with 31 touchdown tosses.Mahomes is an outstanding player with outstanding targets, and its kind of hard to get a grasp on them, said Cowboys defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer. They have concepts, but then their biggest plays come off of when he scrambles around and creates a different play from it. So we have to be very disciplined and stay with the receivers a long time.Hes a great talent and hes going to be a tough task for us.The Red Raiders, looking to recover from a 45-37 loss to Texas last week, know they face a tough task against Oklahoma State, which it has not beaten since 2008.Its a team that continues to find a way to win at the end, said Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury of OSU. Theyve had some really good comebacks. Theyre offensively tremendous skill players. The young running back (freshman Justice Hill) is doing a great job, (receiver James) Washingtons as good as anybody in the country, and the quarterback (Mason Rudolph) is throwing it really well. Defensively, they tend to make plays when they have to.Some things to watch on Saturday:1. MAHOMES ROLLING: Mahomes has been busy piling up ridiculous numbers, highlighted by his performance Oct. 22 against Oklahoma, when he completed 52 of 88 passes, tying the NCAA record with 734 yards and amassing five touchdowns. He has been sacked seven times the last two games, but still completed 61 percent of his passes. I think hes a potential first-round pick, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. He reminds me a lot of Dak Prrescott, when we played Dak at Mississippi State.dddddddddddd Weve got a great challenge.2. TURNOVER FACTORY: While the Cowboys defense ranks 98th (out of 128 FBS schools) in total defense, allowing 443.8 yards per contest, they generate a lot of turnovers. Safety Jordan Sterns interception in the end zone on the final play of last weeks 43-37 win over Kansas State was OSUs 11th of the season, leading the Big 12 and tied for 22nd in the nation. Overall, the Cowboys have forced 20 turnovers, most in the Big 12 and ninth in the country, with at least one turnover in every game and 10 in the last four.3. FLAGS PICKED UP: Through the first seven games of the season, Texas Tech was one of the most penalized teams in the Big 12, averaging 9.9 penalties and 85 yards per game. However, the last two games have seen a marked turnaround. The Red Raiders total of just five penalties for 19 combined yards in the last two weeks, including just one flag for 5 yards in their win over TCU Oct. 29, was the lowest in the nation.4. RUDOLPH SHINING BRIGHT: OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph has put together an outstanding season. After completing 29 of 38 passes for 457 yards and five touchdowns last week against Kansas State, Rudolph ranks seventh in the nation with 2,989 yards. His streak of 163 pass attempts without an interception ended in that game, tossing just four picks overall, with 22 touchdowns. He can throw the deep ball, ranking third in the nation with 26 completions of 30 or more yards, including seven of 50-plus.5. RUN DOWN: With thriving passing attacks, both teams have endured struggles running the ball. Oklahoma State ranks 101st in the nation with an average of 141.2 yards rushing per game, while Texas Tech is 124th at 101.3. Freshman Justice Hill leads the Cowboys with 663 yards rushing, with four touchdowns. Demarcus Felton tops the Red Raiders with 289 yards on the ground, with three touchdowns. Mahomes is second with 260 yards and has scored 10 rushing touchdowns. ' ' '
