Recap

Ole Miss seized control early, with Jaxson Dart orchestrating a high-powered passing attack that overwhelmed Georgia's defense from the opening drive. After an early Georgia touchdown, the Rebels answered with Ulysses Bentley's 9-yard scoring run, then methodically added three field goals before halftime to build a commanding lead. Georgia's offense sputtered throughout, managing only 245 total yards and three turnovers, including a crucial Carson Beck interception to John Saunders Jr. in the fourth quarter that effectively sealed the game. Ole Miss's balanced attack—led by Dart's precision passing to receivers like Cayden Lee and Ulysses Bentley—proved too much for the Bulldogs, with Caden Davis adding three fourth-quarter field goals to put the game away.

Ulysses Bentley IV's 9-yard TD run in Q1 to give Ole Miss an early lead after Georgia scored first
Three Caden Davis field goals (23, 43, 53 yards) in the first half that established Ole Miss's dominance
John Saunders Jr. interception of Carson Beck in Q4 that sealed the victory
Jaxson Dart's 28-yard scramble to the UGA 26 late in Q4 that set up the final two field goals
