Ole Miss Stuns Georgia 39-34 in Week 1 Upset
Ole Miss defeated Georgia 39-34 in a high-scoring Week 1 matchup, with the Rebels' explosive fourth quarter proving decisive. Trinidad Chambliss led Ole Miss's offense with 362 passing yards, connecting with Logan Diggs eight times and orchestrating a dominant final period that saw the Rebels score 20 points. Kewan Lacy contributed 98 rushing yards for the visitors.
Georgia kept pace through much of the contest, particularly in the second quarter when it scored 21 points. However, the Bulldogs managed only 10 fourth-quarter points as Ole Miss pulled away. Gunner Stockton led Georgia's attack but couldn't generate enough late-game momentum.
The game exceeded the over-under of 54 points and saw Ole Miss cover the 6-point spread. Key moments included Chambliss's 40-yard completion to De'Zhaun Stribling and his 36-yard strike to Harrison Wallace III, keeping the Rebels' offense in rhythm. Despite strong performances from Georgia receivers Zachariah Branch and Cash Jones, the Bulldogs' defense couldn't contain Ole Miss's fourth-quarter surge in what proved an exciting season opener.
