Strike another game from the Southeastern Conference slate this weekend.
Georgia's visit to Missouri this week is postponed, the league's fourth game wiped off the schedule of Saturday games due to COVID-19 outbreaks for a number of teams.
"I'm finding out about as fast as you guys are," Kirby Smart told reporters. "Mental agility is definitely the definition of 2020."
In announcing the postponement just before its coaches weekly teleconference with media, the SEC said the game “has been postponed due to combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Missouri football program, consistent with Southeastern Conference COVID-19 management requirements.”
Previously postponed were the Alabama-LSU, Auburn-Mississippi State and Texas A&M-Tennessee contests.
“I want to commend the SEC for always doing the right thing for our players,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Wednesday on the SEC call.
Both the Auburn-Mississippi State and Texas A&M-Tennessee contests have been rescheduled for Dec. 12, the Saturday before the league's championship game and a built-in open date for all teams when the SEC had announced its schedule for the season.
It is less clear on the other two games, because teams involved in those contests already had faced postponements and rescheduled onto that second Saturday in December.
The Georgia-Missouri contest could be played Dec. 19, the day of the SEC title game, if both teams are not involved in the championship contest. Both teams trail Florida in the SEC East standings, and the Gators own the head-to-head tiebreaker over both teams.
