Sugar Bowl Matchup: Ole Miss vs. Georgia
The day wraps up for the College Football Playoff quarterfinals with tonight’s Sugar Bowl, featuring No. 6 Ole Miss against No. 3 Georgia. This clash is particularly interesting since Georgia was the only team to hand Ole Miss a loss this season—back on October 18, they defeated the Rebels 43-35.
Things won’t quite be the same for Ole Miss this time around. After Lane Kiffin’s departure from the head coach position in late November, Pete Golding stepped in as his replacement. Tonight marks Golding’s second game in charge; his debut was in the first round of the CFP, where the Rebels triumphed over Tulane to secure their spot in this evening’s matchup.
As for Georgia, they, too, experienced a singular loss this season against fellow CFP team Alabama. With a record of 12-1, they earned the No. 3 seed and a bye in the first round.
