No. 5 Ole Miss suffers first defeat of the season at the hands of No. 9 Georgia

An undefeated No. 5 Ole Miss headed to Athens, Ga., on Saturday, Oct. 18 to take on No. 9 Georgia. The Rebels suffered their first defeat of the season and dropped to 6-1.

First half

Georgia’s offense started off hot with 50 yards on their first three plays. They clearly watched the Washington State film because their third play was a flea flicker that had similar trickery to the Cougar’s play that allowed them to score their first touchdown. However, an offensive pass interference stalled their momentum and Georgia had to kick a field goal to start the game.
