Thursday Ole Miss vs. Georgia Injury Report: Terez Davis Cleared
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. Good news up front: left tackle Terez Davis and cornerback Cedrick Beavers come off the report.

A clearer picture of who’s available for the Rebels’ biggest home game of the year. (The Rebel Walk)
Ole Miss’ Biggest Georgia Challenge Has Little to Do With Trinidad Chambliss
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. Tyler Crum’s argument: Trinidad Chambliss can’t carry this one alone. Georgia averages 43 points a game, and the Ole Miss defense has wobbled on discipline, communication and tackling in recent big spots. The quarterback will matter again, but the Rebels’ ceiling Saturday is set by whether that defense shows up. (Sports Illustrated)
Ole Miss Defense vs. Georgia Offense: Matchup Preview
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. The unit under the microscope. Georgia leads the SEC in scoring and runs for roughly 200 yards a game behind efficient quarterback Gunner Stockton. The Rebel Walk breaks down an injured linebacker group, a thin secondary, and why forcing field goals instead of touchdowns in the red zone may decide this one. (The Rebel Walk)
Ole Miss Has Survived Slow Starts All Season, but Georgia May Be Different
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. The numbers are stark. Ole Miss has managed just 41 first-quarter points all season, while Georgia has outscored opponents 94-14 in opening quarters. The Rebels have clawed out of early holes before, but against the nation’s top-ranked defense, Taylor Hodges writes, another slow start could prove fatal. (HottyToddy)
ESPN Analyst Identifies Georgia Weakness Ole Miss Could Exploit
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. ESPN’s Bill Connelly flags it: Georgia has put the ball on the ground 14 times this season despite gaudy numbers. Ole Miss has recovered three opponent fumbles over its last two games. If the Rebels can turn that into takeaways Saturday, it may be their clearest route to a stunner in Oxford. (HottyToddy)

Will Echoles on Georgia and NFL Buzz: ‘I Can’t Control the NFL’
Tue., Nov. 3. The defensive tackle, fresh off his first career offensive touchdown — a one-yard plunge against Auburn — has turned the page to Georgia. His formula is simple: make the Bulldogs punt and create turnovers. As for the NFL draft chatter swirling around him, Echoles says he’s tuning it all out. (The Rebel Walk)
Men’s Basketball
Chris Beard Warns Ole Miss About Dangerous Central Arkansas Team
Thu., Nov. 5 · last 24 hours. Fresh off a 99-58 opening rout of Alcorn State, Chris Beard isn’t letting his team exhale. Central Arkansas won 22 games a year ago, was picked to win its league, returns nine players, and leans on heavy three-point shooting and a Princeton-style offense that bites in close games. Beard’s message: respect the Bears. (HottyToddy)
Five Stats That Explain Ole Miss Basketball’s Season-Opening Win
