Ole Miss secured a significant win against Georgia, defeating the Bulldogs 28-10 in a game that saw the Rebels' defense shine by forcing multiple turnovers and limiting Georgia to 245 total yards. The victory boosted Ole Miss's chances for an at-large bid in the College Football Playoff and marked their first win against a non-Alabama ranked team since 2020. Despite the victory, the game was marred by fans prematurely storming the field with 16 seconds left, leading to a delay before they returned once the game officially ended. In the aftermath, fans took down and paraded the goalposts through Oxford, Mississippi, resulting in a $250,000 fine due to SEC regulations on field access violations. This win is among the most significant in Ole Miss history and adds to the excitement of their ongoing season under coach Lane Kiffin.
