Georgia vs. Ole Miss Preview: Breaking Down the Biggest Matchups in Oxford
Georgia heads to Oxford for a massive Top 10 showdown against Ole Miss on Saturday night, and Buck Belue breaks down the biggest matchups that could decide this SEC clash. The Bulldogs are looking to get their first win in Oxford under Kirby Smart, while the Rebels bring a 16-game home winning streak into one of the biggest games of the season.
Can Georgia's defense slow down Trinidad Chambliss and an explosive Ole Miss offense? Buck examines how Kirby Smart and Glenn Schumann could approach the Rebels' dynamic quarterback, why Georgia must be careful about blitzing, and the importance of Ellis Robinson and the Bulldogs' secondary in containing Ole Miss' weapons.
On the other side of the ball, can Georgia's rushing attack take advantage of an Ole Miss defense that has struggled against the run? Nate Frazier's return to form, Dwight Phillips' production, and the physicality of Georgia's offensive line could be critical. Buck also explains why Mike Bobo's run-game approach, quick wide receiver screens, and explosive passing opportunities will all matter against Pete Golding's defense.
Plus, Buck looks at the red-zone matchup, Gunner Stockton's ability to beat the blitz, the importance of creating explosive plays, and why this game could come down to which team is more physical in the fourth quarter.
Buck's prediction: Georgia 38, Ole Miss 35.
Can the Bulldogs finally get a win in Oxford and make a statement in the College Football Playoff race?
