Ole Miss: 230

On paper, the Ole Miss game featured Georgia’s third best rushing performance of the season so far, but that doesn’t tell the story. The Dawgs were buried into a 45-0 hole with eight minutes left in the third quarter. On the final three drives, with the game out of reach, Georgia tallied 137 of those yards. They did average 5.2 yards per carry in this one, but the Rebels also have the nation’s 117th ranked run defense, at 240.2 yards per game, so the Dawgs’ 230 was par for the course for that defense.
