The Missouri Tigers will have their hands full enough on Saturday afternoon having to deal with the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs.
However, if the refs start throwing blocks for the Bulldogs, too, the Tigers will stand no chance.
As you can see below, on a questionable fumble from the Tigers, the ball was scooped up by Tyson Campbell, who was then off to the races. With only QB Drew Lock to beat, an official does a great job of running interference and keeping Lock out of the play:

When Kirby Smart shows his team the film this week, he’ll definitely highlight that play as the perfect way to block on a fumble return.
Georgia probably should have gotten a 12 men on the field penalty, but instead, it’s 7-0 Bulldogs late in the first quarter.
