Ole Miss football kept its College Football Playoff hopes alive on Saturday with a big-time upset win over No. 2 Georgia.
The No. 12 Rebels (8-2, 4-2 SEC) defeated the Bulldogs (7-2, 5-2) 28-10 at home on Saturday, behind a remarkable performance by the defense, who forced three turnovers and held Georgia to 245 total yards with five sacks.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart, battling an ankle injury, completed 13 of 22 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and an interception, along with 50 rushing yards on eight rushes.
The win was one of Ole Miss’ best in recent memory, and certainly among the top wins under coach Lane Kiffin. It also tied the Rebels’ biggest win in program history, with Ole Miss beating No. 2 Alabama on the road in 2015. With that game on the road, coupled with Saturday’s victory, Ole Miss has now scored the biggest home win in program history.
