Georgia (7-2, 5-2, No. 3 CFP) scored on a 2-yard run by Nate Frazier early in the first quarter. But Mississippi quickly took control of the situation.

After the opening series, Ole Miss recorded five sacks and nine tackles for loss, forced four fumbles and intercepted a Carson Beck pass. Jared Ivey and Princely Umanimielen had two sacks each and linebackers TJ Dottery and Chris Paul combined for 19 tackles.

Bentley’s TD tied it at 7, and Davis connected on runs of 23, 43 and 53 yards to make it 16-7 at halftime.

After Peyton Woodring kicked a 23-yard field goal for Georgia, Dart completed an 8-play, 75-yard drive when he found Wells for the TD.

Dart completed 13 of 22 passes for 199 yards with one interception. He also ran for 50 yards as the Rebels finished with 397 total yards.

Davis converted field goals of 24 and 32 yards in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

Georgia lost for the second time in the regular season since 2020. The Bulldogs are 1-2 against ranked teams on the road after beating Texas, 30-15, in October.

Beck completed 20 of 31 passes for 186 yards. Georgia was limited to 245 total yards of offense.

Unlike the road win over Texas in September, the Bulldogs couldn’t survive against an inspired opponent at home, buoyed by a record crowd of 68,125.

Beck was solid statistically but couldn’t threaten the Rebels on the field. Georgia only had two offensive plays of 20+ yards.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s victory could have far-reaching implications. The surging Rebels will get a boost in the AP Top 25 poll and serious consideration for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
