Georgia escaped Nicholls States upset bid and emerged from the scare relatively unscathed. But positives were few and far between in the 26-24 win over Colonels from the FCS.The Bulldogs turned it over three times and appeared unfocused at times during the disappointing performance.We did not get great practices every day, Georgia coach Kirby Smart said of the weeks preparation. But at the end of the day that comes from within. That comes from great leadership, and we have to get better leadership.At his direction, Smart said the No. 16 Bulldogs are moving on to this weeks opponent, Missouri. The two East Division colleagues kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo. The game will be telecast on the SEC Network.Missouri is 1-1 after bouncing back from an opening loss to West Virginia with a 61-21 blowout of Eastern Michigan.Coach Barry Odoms Tigers erupted for 647 yards of total offense in that game with quarterback Drew Lock throwing for 450 of it with 24 completions in 37 attempts. His backup, Marvin Zanders, connected on all three of his attempts for another 27 yards.They have a very up-tempo offense and very disruptive defense, Smart said. They do a great job -- they always have. Coach Odom does a great job defensively. He has always been a great defensive mind in this conference, and they have a great offensive coordinator in Josh Heupel, who has done a tremendous job at really fast-pace offense.Smart did not name his starting quarterback during his week press conference.Talented freshman Jacob Eason started and played the majority of the game against Nicholls. Senior Greyson Lambert played just a handful of plays, but Smart would not commit to either against Missouri.I feel a sense of urgency to get the best guy on the field to give us an opportunity to win each game, Smart said. If that means getting one guy ready then thats what it would be.Right now, were not in a position to do that. Right now were in a situation where weve got two quarterbacks that are both developing, both a part of the game plan, and we want to continue to do that.Its a situation where if one guy dominates during the week, that guy will play. But within every game weve got a situation where another quarterback has to be ready. Youve got to have two quarterbacks ready for the most part anyway. We just want to get the best guy out there that gives us the best opportunity to win based on that game plan.In the two games, Eason has passed for 335 yards in completing 19 of 32 attempts with one interception. Lambert, last years starter, is 7 of 11 for 56 yards.The big weapon offensively for the Bulldogs, of course, is junior tailback Nick Chubb. Chubb has rushed 52 times for 302 yards in the two games and has scored three of Georgias four rushing touchdowns.A sophomore, Lock got off to a slow start against West Virginia, completing only 23 passes in 51 attempts for 280 yards, but rebounded with the big game against Eastern Michigan a week later.He is doing a great job of running our offense, and things are slowing down tremendously for him, Odom said. I think he will continue to grow by learning from his mistakes, while learning from the good things he does as well.Hes got a chance to be special. If the 10 guys around him continue to play well, his game is going to continue to get better. He did some really good things tonight.Wide receiver Johnathon Johnson had a big day in the win with five receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown.He has got playmaking ability and continues to work and develop his skill set, Odom said of the redshirt freshman. The things he did on the field tonight he does in practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.Its important to him that he is a total package player, having the ability to not only play out wide, but to return punts and block. He is only going to get better. Justise Winslow Heat Jersey .

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Lewis Hamilton was nearly dealt a critical blow to his title chances on the opening lap of the Mexican Grand Prix when his Mercedes team considered pitting him from the lead.Hamilton locked his front right tyre into the first corner due to a glazed brake disc, resulting in him taking to the run off and cutting Turn 2 completely. He escaped a penalty from the stewards but the lock-up severely damaged his right front tyre with a flat spot.Mercedes were ready to pit Hamilton at the end of the first lap, but a safety car period for a collision between Pascal Wherlein and Marcus Ericsson gave the pit wall enough time to revaluate the situation.It was huge, Hamilton said. A massive flat spot and I honestly thought that I was going to have to come in. When I came out of the chicane I honestly thought I was coming in that lap and that was my race pretty much done. But they told me to stay out, the safety car came out and they felt that we could live with the vibration and it wouldnt damage the suspension. It was getting worse and worse even though I wasnt locking up any more. But I had to take a lot of precautions while trying to nurse the car to the 17th lap.Team boss Toto Wolff said the vibrations caused by the misshaped tyre llooked scary on the teams data.ddddddddddddWith all the bad luck Lewis has had throughout the season, he got some of that back today, some of the good luck back, because he badly flat-spotted the tyre. The vibration matrix was scary from the beginning. We had quite a conversation on the radio about whether we should pit him for safety reasons.In any other race we would have pitted him and lost the race. We kept him out there in order to not throw away the championship for him. Every single lap, every single straight, we monitored the vibrations. Our team did a fantastic job in keeping that under control and then we pitted him a bit earlier because the vibration matrix was going sky high and a suspension failure could have easily happened.Hamilton made it to lap 17 with the flat spot before changing tyres, which Wolff said was crucial to staying on a winning strategy.That was the earliest we could have pitted him. Everything else would have destroyed the race. But honestly it was not a comfortable situation we found ourselves in there to make that call, weighing up the championship versus a failure of the suspension. ' ' '
