Turnover Battle
Georgia has been one of college football's best teams this season, but it Achilles heel has been turnovers, particularly interceptions. Carson Beck is No. 11 in the nation and third in the SEC in passing yards per game, but he also leads the SEC and is tied for fourth nationally with 11 interceptions thrown on the year. If Ole Miss can create turnovers and capitalize on them, it will be in position to win.
Taking on the Elite
Georgia has been one of the, if not the premier team in college football over the past several years. Dating back to their late 2020 loss to Florida, the Bulldogs are on a 53-game win streak against teams not named Alabama. Can the Rebels add "and Ole Miss" to the end of that sentence on Saturday?
Sack Leaders
Ole Miss is the nation's leader in sacks with 41 on the season, and the Rebel rush has been heating up lately with nine sacks against Oklahoma and eight against Arkansas in their last two outings. Ole Miss has had five or more sacks in every SEC game except the road trip to LSU, which is tied for second nationally and leads the SEC with just four sacks allowed on the season. Georgia is No. 2 in the SEC and tied for No. 20 nationally in that category. Can the Ole Miss pass rush have its way against an elite UGA offensive line?
Hot Air
Even without perhaps its two best weapons at receiver in Tre Harris and Caden Prieskorn, the Ole Miss offense awoke in a big away last weekend at Arkansas, going off for a 562 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Will Jaxson Dart and the Rebels stay hot through the air?
Protect the Pass
In SEC play, Ole Miss' success has been directly tied to its offensive line play in pass protection. The Rebels allowed just one sack in each of their three SEC wins over South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, but they allowed four and six in the losses to Kentucky and LSU, respectively. Ole Miss is one of four SEC teams with more 28 or more sacks on the year, and the Rebels have already faced the other three: South Carolina (31), Oklahoma (29) and LSU (28). Georgia is one of 11 SEC teams between 18-22 sacks, sitting tied for seventh in the league at an even 20.
