FIVE THINGS TO WATCH VS GEORGIA

NUMBER 2 – WIDE RECEIVERS APLENTY

A question heading into this season was which receivers would step up for Drew Lock this year. Emanuel Hall had been that guy through the first two games, but this week, Jalen Knox was the one who stepped it up for the Tigers.

Knox ended the day with just five receptions, but had 110 yards and a touchdown and emerged as another vicious target for Lock and the Tigers offense. Hall had his weakest game of his career, but still went for 88 yards off of just four receptions.

MU’s run game did its part this week, which meant that Lock didn’t have to air it out as much, but Knox showed that he can be yet another weapon on that hot Tiger offense. Georgia allowed just 130 yards through the air last week, but the Middle Tennessee quarterback has nothing on Drew Lock and the Tigers.
