The No. 5 Ole Miss Rebels will travel to Athens, Ga., to play the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, Oct. 18 — only a week after Ole Miss’ narrow 24-21 victory over unranked Washington State.
Ole Miss was a 33.5-point favorite over the 3-2 Cougars, but the Rebels found themselves in a four-quarter battle.
Statistically, the Rebel offense had another strong outing led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who completed 20 passes for 253 passing yards and added a 15-yard rushing touchdown. Running back Kewan Lacy added 24 carries for 142, 5.9 yards a carry, while tight end Dae’Quan Wright caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.
