Overview

  • Georgia trailed 35-26 entering the fourth quarter before closing on a 17-0 run.
  • Quarterback Gunner Stockton completed 26 of 31 passes for 289 yards with four touchdown throws and added 59 rushing yards plus a 22-yard rushing score.
  • Tight end Lawson Luckie caught three touchdown passes, and kicker Peyton Woodring made field goals of 51, 35, and 42 yards, with the last setting the 43-35 final.
  • After conceding touchdowns on the Rebels’ first five possessions, Georgia’s defense shut them out in the fourth quarter and limited them to 13 yards in the period.
  • The result lifted Georgia to 6-1 and gave No. 5 Ole Miss its first loss; a video on X showed Smart and Lane Kiffin sharing a cordial postgame exchange, and Georgia is off next week before facing Florida on Nov. 1 in Jacksonville.
