Ole Miss started off in familiar fashion Saturday by jumping out to a dominant 31-0 lead over Georgia in the first half. But in refreshingly unfamiliar fashion the Rebs tamped down on defense and whipped the Bulldogs out of Oxford, 45-14.
A four-possession lead probably sat better with Hugh Freeze and fans than in previous weeks this season, but the Landsharks executed brilliantly all afternoon and Chad Kelly and the offense backed them up with points to put the game away in the third quarter.
The theme of the early going was Ole Miss’ ownership of the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
