What went wrong for Georgia vs. Ole Miss?

What went wrong for Georgia football in the Bulldogs’ loss to Ole Miss

The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs were defeated by the No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels, 28-10, in Oxford. Lets take a deep dive into why.

Lost the battle of the trenches

This game was going to be won the trenches, and Ole Miss dominated. Offensively, Georgia had no answer to the Rebels’ defensive line. When the game started in heavy rain, you knew it would be a ground and pound game. It started out well for UGA, but the tables turned.

Ole Miss’ defensive line lived in the backfield, causing the Georgia offense to be put in third and long instead of third and manageable. Princely Umanmielen and Jared Ivey had two sacks and two tackles for losses. This was arguably the worst performance by the UGA offensive line in the past three years. Left tackle Earnest Greene struggled.

On the defensive side, Chaz Chambliss and Nazir Stackhouse combined for a sack, and Jalon Walker tipped a pass into a Dan Jackson interception that led to Georgia’s first (and only) touchdown of the game. Other than the first possession it seemed as the UGA pass rush was nonexistent today. Jaxson Dart found holes in the rush to escape the pocket. Also, the Rebels rushed for 134 yards yards without their starting running back, Henry Parrish Jr.

Turnovers

Turnovers have been a consistent issue for the Bulldogs this season. Ball proved costly with freshman running back Nate Frazier having a crucial fumble just as Georgia was building serious momentum. The turnover came during a promising third-quarter drive that spanned seven plays and looked poised to put points on the board.

Frazier’s miscue, combined with quarterback Carson Beck’s struggles, marked a day plagued by fumbles. Both players lost two apiece, leading to valuable possessions for Ole Miss. These errors handed the Rebels the ball at pivotal moments, stalling the Bulldogs’ progress and putting additional pressure on their defense.

Dropped Passes 

Dropped passes have been a persistent issue for this Bulldogs’ wide receiver room and they continued at critical moments against Ole Miss. Georgia leads the nation with 29 drops this season. It highlights the team’s need for more consistent execution in the passing game.
In a game in which every possession mattered, tight end Ben Yurosek had a significant drop on second down during a drive on which putting points on the board was essential. This missed opportunity set the offense back, putting added pressure on the following downs.
Another pivotal drop came from Dillon Bell on a third down, a catch that would have extended the drive and potentially led to points. Instead, the very next play saw quarterback Carson Beck’s pass intercepted by John Saunders Jr. These dropped passes underscored how thin the margin for error is for the Bulldogs, and cleaning up these mistakes is essential if they hope to make the playoff.

Georgia loses 28-10 against the Ole Miss Rebels

The Georgia Bulldogs suffered a humbling 28-10 road loss to the Ole Miss Rebels

The Georgia at Ole Miss game was filled with high-stakes moments and unfortunate missed opportunities for the Bulldogs. The first drive showcased the Bulldogs’ defensive prowess, with Chaz Chambliss and Nazir Stackhouse combining for a sack, and safety Dan Jackson coming up with a timely interception. This turnover forced Rebels’ quarterback Jaxson Dart to the sideline with an ankle injury, shifting early momentum in Georgia’s favor.

Capitalizing on the turnover, the Bulldogs orchestrated a methodical seven-play drive culminating in a two-yard rushing touchdown by freshman Nate Frazier. Ole Miss responded with backup quarterback Austin Simmons, who went 5-for-6 for 64 yards, driving his team downfield and setting up a touchdown run by Ulysses Bentley IV to tie the game at 7-7.

Dart later returned to the game with his left ankle heavily taped and led the Rebels to a field goal, nudging the score to 13-7. Meanwhile, Georgia’s offense started finding rhythm on their final drive of the half, with key receptions from Dominic Lovett and Dillon Bell. But a crucial drop by tight end Ben Yurosek halted their progress. This drop, their 27th of the season and the highest in the nation, underscored the season-long struggle for the Bulldogs’ receiving corps. Ole Miss capitalized on the stalled drive, with Dart marching downfield to set up Cayden Lee’s impressive 53-yard field goal, sending the Rebels into halftime with a 16-7 lead and momentum on their side.

At halftime, Kirby Smart emphasized the need for the defense to pressure Dart and force turnovers, while on offense, he stressed the importance of a strong running game to keep Ole Miss’s defense honest. Georgia’s opening drive of the second half saw improvement, with four 10+ yard plays, all through the air. This promising drive ended in a field goal, cutting the lead to 16-10.

Dart responded for Ole Miss with back-to-back passes of 26 and 23 yards to Cayden Lee, ultimately leading to a precise 10-yard touchdown pass to Antwane ‘Juice’ Wells Jr., extending the Rebels’ lead to 22-10. The Bulldogs’ next drive was derailed by another turnover—a fumble on a screen pass by Frazier, who had otherwise been a bright spot for Georgia’s offense.

Reflecting on the third quarter, Smart remarked, “Three really good drives, maybe four, and a turnover on defense.” But the turnovers continued to haunt them. Georgia’s first drive of the fourth quarter was promising, chewing up 9:27 on the clock over 15 plays. However, a tipped fourth-down pass was intercepted by John Saunders Jr., ending another scoring opportunity and dealing a significant blow to Georgia’s comeback hopes. After that the Bulldogs could not come up with anymore significant scoring drives.

With this loss, the Bulldogs’ season isn’t over, but their margin for error has completely disappeared. Now at two losses, Georgia’s path to the College Football Playoff has narrowed, making each game a must-win. Their best shot at a playoff berth relies on securing an at-large bid, which could position them to host a playoff game at home. Every remaining game will be a test of resilience, with the Bulldogs needing to perform at their absolute best.
