The No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels are set to host No. 2 Georgia Saturday night in Oxford, with the SEC clash carrying massive implications for both teams. Georgia enters at 7-1 overall and 5-1 in SEC play, looking to protect its spot atop the conference. Ole Miss, meanwhile, is in a more desperate situation at 6-2 (4-2 SEC) after dropping games against Florida and Texas earlier in the year.
The Rebels have already beaten ranked opponents LSU and Missouri, but another loss could be enough to keep them out of the College Football Playoff. Ole Miss' star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss isn't intimidated by the challenge of facing the Georgia Bulldogs, though. In fact, he's looking forward to it.
You live for games like this as an athlete, as a competitor. I want Georgia at their best. I want to face Kirby Smart.
I want to face that tough defense. And I want them at their best," Chambliss said ahead of Saturday's matchup. "It's going to be fun going out there at night in front of our fans.
It's going to be rocking. I know the energy is going to be amazing. Just truly blessed to be able to get the opportunity."
