Ole Miss vs Georgia Game Preview

Why Ole Miss Will Win

This whole idea that Georgia hasn’t been tested yet holds a little bit of water - really, Missouri and Florida are the two good wins - but what it hasn’t dealt with is a team that can be as disruptive as the Rebels are.

Mizzou’s defense is close. It’s great at getting to the quarterback, and it got to Carson Beck for three sacks, but it also couldn’t come up with third down stops. The Bulldogs kept things moving completing 46% of its third down chances.

Ole Miss might not be a rock on third downs - it gives up 40% of its tries - but as long as it doesn’t allow Georgia to go off, and as long as the fantastic pass rush can bother Beck more than Missouri could, the chances will be there to make the thing stall.

It’s no coincidence that the lone Rebel loss came in the one game that it allowed a team to connect on over 45% of its tries. LSU did that. That’s where the defensive front that’s fifth in the nation in sacks and 14th in tackles for loss has to take over.

Ole Miss is fantastic at winning the turnover battle, has the most dangerous downfield passing game the Dawgs hav dealt with, and …

Why Georgia Will Win

Time … of … possession.

Ole Miss plays fast, moves fast, acts fast, and it doesn’t care about controlling the clock as opposed to dominating the tempo. That’s fine, but when dealing with Georgia it’s about the full 60 minute battle.

Yes, the Rebels can strike quickly and might get up on Georgia going into halftime. That’s fine, but the pressure over time will be too wearing on the Rebels. The Dawgs don’t win on flash, they win on infrastructure.

Alabama clamped down in the second half in the 24-10 win over the Rebels, totally shutting down the ground game after the first quarter. That might be Georgia in the fourth quarter.

And then there’s the winning “problem” - sorry, couldn’t figure out any other way to put that.

Ole Miss is winning, but it’s not exactly crushing the Arkansas’s and Auburns’s of the world. It’s winning - a W is a W - but for all the great things the team is doing, it’s been under way too much pressure and stress. That’s not the worst thing - it’s battle tested - but Georgia isn’t.

Ole Miss vs Georgia Who Will Win

Ole Miss isn't coming up with 21 points in the fourth quarter like it did against LSU.

Granted, the fourth quarter has been the worst so far for the Dawgs statistically - they don't need to push late most of the time - but they'll have to play a full four quarters in this. The Rebels have the make-up, the talent, and the coaching to pull this off if Carson Beck and the Georgia O aren't sharp.

Is this where Georgia looks mortal, or is it about to flex its muscle and show that, yeah, it really should be the No. 1 team? It'll be a little of both as the two-time defending national champ gets pushed, and then rises up and looks the part when it has to.
