2023-11-11
Arr, in a mighty clash betwixt two fine crews, the second-ranked Georgia sailed to victory, trouncing the ninth-ranked Ole Miss. Proving themselves to the committee, they've secured a berth in the grand SEC title battle against Alabama, mateys!
Carson Beck threw for 306 yards, Kendall Milton ran for 127 yards, and Brock Bowers made a triumphant return for No. 2 Georgia in their 52-17 victory over No. 9 Mississippi. The Bulldogs showcased their dominance, scoring touchdowns on their first four possessions and building a 28-14 halftime lead. Beck completed 18 of 25 passes, including a touchdown to Ladd McConkey and a scoring connection with Bowers, who had previously missed two games due to injury. Milton and Daijun Edwards each ran for two touchdowns as Georgia piled up 293 rushing yards. The Bulldogs secured the SEC East title and a Dec. 2 showdown against Alabama after No. 14 Missouri defeated No. 13 Tennessee. Bowers' return was celebrated by the crowd, even though he had a relatively quiet game. His presence alone opens up opportunities for his teammates. Georgia's offense averaged 10 yards per snap and accumulated over 300 yards in each half. Ole Miss attempted to pull off an upset but fell short. Their quarterback, Jaxson Dart, was injured late in the third quarter. Despite the loss, Ole Miss had hoped to make a case for the College Football Playoff but showed they still have more work to do. On the other hand, Georgia is on track for an unprecedented three-peat national title. With their strong offense and the return of Bowers, the Bulldogs are a force to be reckoned with. Ole Miss will face Louisiana-Monroe in their next game, while Georgia will take on No. 13 Tennessee.
