Teams
[ edit ]
Missouri
[ edit ]
Missouri was the runner-up in the Big Eight Conference , selected to play in this game over Oklahoma due to the conference's new (and short-lived) rule against consecutive bowl appearances;[6] previous two Orange Bowls. The Tigers had four losses in the regular season.
Georgia
[ edit ]
Georgia was champion of the Southeastern Conference for the first time in eleven years , and made their first bowl appearance since 1950 . Their only loss was in early October at South Carolina .
Game summary
[ edit ]
Georgia quarterback Fran Tarkenton threw a 29-yard pass to Bill McKenny to give the Bulldogs a 7–0 lead in the first. In the second quarter, he scrambled and threw a touchdown pass of 33 yards to Aaron Box to make it 14–0 at halftime, and the second half was scoreless.[5] [3] [4] [5] [7]
Aftermath
[ edit ]
Missouri won the Orange Bowl the next year . Georgia's next major bowl was seven years later, when they won the Cotton Bowl .
The Bulldogs did not return to the Orange Bowl until December 31, 2021 . They were ranked No. 3 and faced No. 2 Michigan in the 2021 College Football Playoff Semifinal, winning 34–11.
