(AP) -- History will be made this weekend when Missouri plays its first Southeastern Conference football game.

For Georgia, it's nothing more than a business trip.

While the seventh-ranked Bulldogs (1-0) recognize the significance of the game, they couldn't care less.

The Bulldogs have their own lofty goals this season, and they don't want to start the SEC schedule with a loss.

These teams have only played once, way back in the 1960 Orange Bowl.

But there's already a bit of bad blood.

Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson says he tried watching Georgia's season-opening win over Buffalo and turned off the television because it was "old man football."

Rest assured, that's now bulletin-board material in Athens, though the Bulldog players were clearly told not to respond with their own trash-talking Tuesday.

Georgia coach Mark Richt hasn't announced a starting tailback for Saturday's game at Missouri, even though freshman Todd Gurley rushed for 100 yards on just eight carries in his college debut.
 
Gurley says he expects Ken Malcome to remain the top guy on the depth chart. Malcome started the opener against Buffalo, rushing for 32 yards before he went out with an injured left hand.
 
Malcome is not listed on Georgia's injury report and should play against Missouri.

Richt says the Bulldogs will likely spread around the playing time, as they did in the first game.

 Another freshman, Keith Marshall, ran a team-high 10 times for 46 yards.
 
Cornerback Malcolm Mitchell (sprained left ankle) remains limited at practice.

Offensive tackle John Theus (sprained left ankle) did not practice Tuesday.
