Georgia football demolishes Ole Miss, clinches SEC East

The Georgia Bulldogs are 10-0 and have won 25 straight home games. Georgia’s latest home win came against the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels. Georgia allowed a pair of early Ole Miss touchdowns, but the Bulldogs’ offense could not be stopped.

As a team, Georgia played its most complete game of the season against Ole Miss. The Georgia offensive line dominated Ole Miss and paved the way for 300 rushing yards. Georgia’s passing attack totaled 311 passing yards. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck had plenty of time to distribute the football to an array of different receivers.
