Lane Kiffin and the No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels pulled off the second top-five upset of Week 11 (next to Georgia Tech upsetting No. 4 Miami) as they defeated the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs 28-10 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday night.
The Rebels defense looked incredible, to say the least, against Carson Beck and the Bulldogs offense, allowing just 245 total and only 59 yards on the ground. But it was the three second-half turnovers Ole Miss forced, two fumbles and one interception, that helped the team pick up its eighth win of the season in dominating fashion.
During the second field storming by the Ole Miss faithful (the first coming with 16 seconds left in the game), one fan came a little too close to Kiffin as the coach was being escorted back to the locker room. One of the uniformed officers took action quickly, throwing what appeared to be a punch right to the fan's face, sending them flying to the ground.
As Kiffin and his security kept making their way down the field, the officer continued to arm bar fans who were in their way. But the initial hit was easily the hardest one.
Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart led the way for Kiffin's offense, completing 13-of-22 passes for 199 yards, a touchdown and a pick while adding 50 more yards on the ground. Beck didn't quite have the same impact, throwing for 186 yards and two turnovers, one interception and one fumble.
Ole Miss (8-2, 4-2 in SEC play) have now won three straight games and its College Football Playoff hopes are very much alive. Following a Week 12 bye, the Rebels will get a battle with the Florida Gators in Week 13.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs (7-2, 5-2 in SEC play) suffered their worst loss of the season. It won't get any easier for Kirby Smart and company as they face the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers next week.
