No. 2 Georgia defeats No. 10 Ole Miss 42-7 for its first win in Oxford since 2011.

Georgia took a 28-0 lead into halftime behind Gunner Stockton’s three first-half touchdowns. Stockton found Talyn Taylor and Ethan Barbour through the air and ran for a 15-yard score with 2:42 left in the half. 

Ole Miss’ seven points was its lowest total of the season. The Rebels had previously scored 24 points in each game this year. 

Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss had the game’s two turnovers, with an interception to KJ Bolden in the second quarter and fumble recovered by Rasean Dinkins in the third. 

For the second straight week, the Bulldogs controlled the line of scrimmage against a solid SEC opponent. Nate Frazier led the rushing attack with 107 yards.

Taylor was the Bulldogs’ leading receiver with 140 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. Stockton ended the game with 186 passing yards and four touchdowns. 

This victory puts Georgia one step closer to clincing a spot in the College Football Playoff and SEC Championship. The Rebels, with a record of 6-3, are in jeopardy of being eliminated from CFP contention.
