A New Year’s Day trio of College Football Playoff games will come to a close on Thursday night as SEC rivals Georgia and Ole Miss face off in the Sugar Bowl.
The Rebels enter this one fresh off a first round win over Tulane—coach Pete Golding’s first with the program—as they try to make magic happen following the departure of Lane Kiffin to LSU late last month. On the year, Ole Miss's offense has been lethal, leading the SEC in yards per game (498.0) while scoring 37.5 points per game, good for third-best in the conference. Their only loss this season ironically came against the Bulldogs, who mounted a come-from-behind victory over them in mid-October.
