Kirby Smart's No. 2-ranked Bulldogs dominated the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels in a 42-7 victory at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, marking a significant turnaround from their previous meeting.
Chambliss, who had previously led Ole Miss to a 32-24 victory over LSU and a 39-34 win against Georgia in the CFP quarterfinals, struggled against Georgia's defense. He completed 18 of 34 passes for 170 yards and was held without a touchdown for the first time in 22 games.
The game's first half saw Ole Miss trailing 21-0, with fans throwing trash and bottles onto the field in frustration. A defensive pass-interference call against Ole Miss further compounded their difficulties.
The win underscores Georgia's dominance and Chambliss's vulnerability against top-tier defenses, potentially impacting Ole Miss's playoff aspirations.
