The Ole Miss Rebels earned their most vital win of the Lane Kiffin period on Saturday.
It was senior defensive again John Saunders Jr. who basically sealed the 28-10 win on a tipped go from Georgia quarterback Carson Beck.
The turnover ended a 15-play, 9:27 Bulldogs drive with Faculty Soccer Playoff No. 16 Ole Miss (7-2, 3-2 in SEC) main 22-10.
No. 3 Georgia (7-1, 5-1 in SEC) was a 1.5-point favourite, but it surely’s been outplayed on the street towards the Rebels.
Ole Miss outgained Georgia 397-245, averaging 6.2 yards per play in comparison with 3.8 for the Bulldogs.
The interception was Beck’s twelfth in his final six video games. Per the ABC broadcast, that is essentially the most in a six-game stretch within the SEC since former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral in 2020.
Ole Miss doubtless stored its CFP hopes alive and remained in competition for an SEC title recreation berth. Because of Saunders’ interception, the Rebels nonetheless have an opportunity to play for greater prizes later this season.
