From The Interns: Taking Stock of Ole Miss and Gazing Towards Tennessee The Bulldogs fell to the No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels 28–10 in their second game of the season.
Since the Dawgs’ 2020 losses to Florida and Alabama, this is the first regular season in which they have suffered two losses. The Bulldogs had a touchdown lead at one point, which may sound absurd.
We both believed that it would undoubtedly be the Dawgs’ day after Jaxson Dart threw an interception to Dan Jackson in the opening few minutes, which resulted in a Georgia touchdown.
After three points and about 200 yards of offence, the Rebels outplayed, outhustled, and out-physicaled Georgia for the rest of the game. It seems as though when Ole Miss.
In retrospect, the performance we witnessed on the pitch pales in comparison to this team’s potential.
This same team almost pulled off an unlikely multi-score comeback against Alabama earlier in the season, and we watched them defeat No. 1 Texas in Austin a few weeks ago.
Although we saw the negative side of Oxford, this team has the potential to be among the best in the nation.
A two-loss regular season does not always mean that a team’s hopes of winning a third College Football Playoff Championship are over thanks to the enlarged playoffs.
