The Ole Miss Rebels defeated Georgia State on Saturday, Aug. 30 in a crushing 63-7 final score for the first game of the 2025 football season.
Both the Rebel offense and defense displayed strength despite Ole Miss losing many starters from last season. The offense combined for 695 yards, with running back Kewan Lacy and quarterback Austin Simmons shining as offensive weapons.
First quarter
A strong first defensive outing from Ole Miss forced the Georgia State punt team onto the field early to allow the Rebel offense to start their season.
A deep punt return from wide receiver Harrison Wallace III set the offense up for a 48-second, 65-yard drive for the first Ole Miss touchdown of the year.
