Football winners in Georgia, losers with loss at Ole Miss

The Georgia Bulldogs’ 28-10 loss to Ole Miss hurts for UGA. The Bulldogs will have to fight and claw to make the College Football Playoff and are unlikely to appear in the SEC championship game, so they will likely have to play in the first round of the playoff.

Georgia did not play well offensively against Ole Miss. Georgia had another three turnover performances and only scored three points that weren’t off turnovers. Georgia’s defense showed up a bit, but wasn’t dominant as Ole Miss shouted out Georgia.

Who are our biggest winners and losers after Georgia’s loss at Ole Miss?

Loser: Georgia’s confidence in Carson Beck

Georgia attempts an insane amount of screen passes. The Bulldogs no longer throw the ball vertically down the field as often and opposing defenses turn to Carson Beck. Beck’s only interception was on a batted ball, but today was another example of Beck not performing well when the opposing pass rush was pressuring him.

Winner: Georgia’s red zone defense

The Bulldogs forced five Ole Miss field goals and only two touchdowns, keeping the game close. Georgia allowed a touchdown on Ole Miss’ first trip into the red zone, but the Dawgs grew stronger from there.

Loser: Running back Nate Frazier

Georgia freshman running back Nate Frazier ran the ball effectively at times against Ole Miss. He totaled 12 carries for 47 yards and one touchdown, but he coughed up a few fumbles that would send everyone running back into the doghouse.

Loser: Left tackle Earnest Greene

Look away, Georgia fans. Earnest Greene’s performance against Ole Miss wasn’t pretty. He needs to better protect Carson Beck’s blindside so Georgia can make noise this season. Georgia had allowed nine sacks entering the Ole Miss game. The Rebels collected five sacks against Georgia and many of those were Greene’s fault. Georgia’s pass blocked and prevented UGA from getting much of an offensive rhythm.

Winner: Safety Dan Jackson

Georgia safety Dan Jackson continues to generate turnovers. His interception in the first quarter came as a result of linebacker Jalon Walker’s pressure on Ole Miss. Jackson is causing chaos and having the best season of his UGA career.
