Georgia takes 28-10 whipping from Ole Miss, drops second game of season
OXFORD, Miss. — Georgia’s back is firmly against the wall after dropping its second game of the 2024 season on Saturday. The Bulldogs fell 28-10 at the hands of Ole Miss in a game that the Rebels controlled throughout.
The Rebels had a two-score lead at the half and carried one for most of the second half while Georgia turned it over twice in the second half and a battered offensive line was beaten soundly in the trenches.
Carson Beck completed 18 of 28 passes for 163 yards and tossed one interception. The Bulldogs managed just 233 yards of total offense and they were held to just 2.2 yards per carry.
Georgia scored the first points of the game after a Dan Jackson interception of Jaxon Dart set the Bulldogs up at the Ole Miss 21-yard line. Nate Frazier punched it in several plays later on a toss sweep and Peyton Woodring’s PAT staked the Bulldogs to a 7-0 lead.
Dart exited the game after the interception and on came freshman lefty Austin Simmons. He led the Rebels on a 75-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at seven and that started a 16-0 run.

The Rebels got Dart back out their on its next drive and with the Georgia offense sputtering, the lead grew three points at the time. Caden Davis hit field goals of 23, 43, and 53 yards as the Rebel lead grew to nine at 16-7.
Georgia couldn’t stop the bleeding until the opening possession of the second half when it got the ball 1st and goal from the 10-yard line. It was unable to punch it in but Woodring’s field goal cut the lead to six points at 16-10.
Ole Miss answered right back with an impressive eight-play 75-yard drive that ended with Dart finding Juice Wells for 10-yard touchdown. The two-point try failed but the lead grew to 22-10. The Bulldogs turned it over three times after that, once on a Frazier fumble, another on a tipped-pass interception from Beck, and a strip sack with just over three minutes left. The Rebels tacked on a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter to cap off the scoring.
It doesn’t get any easier for Georgia as it returns home. The Bulldogs will play host to No. 7 Tennessee with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
