Number 23 Ole Miss Rebels will take on the number four Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday in Georgia. The stakes are high for the Rebels who will fall from the rankings if they lose while the Bulldogs are looking to climb up even higher so it’s sure to be a great game full of tough competition for both sides.
Let’s look at Ole Miss first. Chad Kelly really needs to get it together especially during the second-half of games. Ole Miss was leading in the first half during two separate games before losing that lead in the second half, mostly due to turnovers. Kelly has been responsible for most of the turnovers, giving the ball up via an interception or a lost fumble. If Kelly can keep his turnovers at bay, then he could be able to lead the team to victory.
Then there’s Georgia. Last week, Georgia only rushed for 101 yards in their win over Mizzou. You would think Georgia would be running the ball a lot more but Mizzou was able to stop that. If Nick Chubb can get some momentum going, Ole Miss better watch out because he could have a stellar game against their young defense. The one thing that the Bulldogs have excelled at this year is making a comeback which is Ole Miss’ weakness apparently so if the Bulldogs can get ahead in the third or fourth quarter, a win seems almost definite.
I’m still not sure who I should hand the win to this week, but I’m gonna have to go with Georgia. I’m not saying that Georgia will win by much, but Ole Miss has really been giving up some big plays late in the game to give the competition the edge. If Ole Miss can pull it off, though, I will be pleasantly surprised.
