The Georgia Bulldogs are now 7-2 after losing to the Ole Miss Rebels 28-10. Georgia missed several chances against Ole Miss, but couldn’t get much going offensively.

What did Georgia coach Kirby Smart say after UGA’s loss to Ole Miss?

“High praise for Ole Miss, great atmosphere,” Kirby Smart said. “They played a very good game, I thought Lane (Kiffin) had his team ready to play. We were obviously struggling in a lot of areas. We had mistakes, fouls, penalties, things that are very difficult to overcome, especially when You play a very good football team.”

Georgia finished the day with a pair of key missed passes and three turnovers, including two fumbles. The Bulldogs beat themselves at times, but Ole Miss was clearly the better team.

“I told our team coming into this week that I felt like they’re probably the most talented team we’ve played,” Smart said. Georgia’s loss to Ole Miss is the Bulldogs’ first loss to a team outside of Alabama since 2020.

“They outplayed us tonight, coached us and did a great job,” Smart said. Georgia suffered its worst loss since the 2019 SEC championship game against LSU.

Ole Miss defeated Georgia 134-59 and recorded five sacks, which is the most Georgia has allowed all season. Georgia’s offensive line is currently dealing with several injuries and that hurt the Bulldogs against Ole Miss.

“If you get into the throw-the-ball mode, you can get into trouble in this league, especially on the road. And we had a couple of drives there where we had to throw the ball. And we struggled to beat Princely blocking (Umanmielen) in obvious passing situations,” said Smart.

What’s next for Georgia?

“It’s on to the next one,” Smart told his team after the game. “I mean, welcome to the SEC, baby… We have a big game next week. We have to go out and find a way to execute at a higher level.”

Georgia hosts Tennessee at 7:30 PM ET on November 16.
