Ole Miss Rebels Dominate at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Shutout Against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
In a commanding display of football, the Ole Miss Rebels secured a 42-0 victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Rebels now hold an 8-5 record, while the Yellow Jackets stand at 5-7.
At Bobby Dodd Stadium, the Ole Miss Rebels showcased their offensive might with a total of 547 yards gained throughout the game. The ground attack was particularly effective, as evidenced by their impressive rushing statistics: 316 yards on 62 attempts and six touchdowns. The longest rush was a substantial gain of 36 yards, contributing to an average of over five yards per carry.
The passing game also played its part in this comprehensive win. Quarterback play resulted in a completion percentage of approximately 63 percent for a total of 231 passing yards. Despite one interception thrown by the Rebels' quarterback, his overall performance yielded an impressive passer rating of around 155.
Special teams had their moments too; all seven kickoffs by Ole Miss resulted in touchbacks, ensuring that Georgia Tech started each drive from their own territory without any return yardage added.
Defensively, Ole Miss was relentless with seven sacks totaling loss yardage close to half-a-hundred and ten tackles for loss amounting to more than fifty-five negative yards for Georgia Tech's offense. This defensive pressure contributed significantly to limiting the home team's ability to score or even sustain drives.
The efficiency within scoring range was flawless for Ole Miss; they capitalized on all five red zone opportunities and all three fourth-down attempts they faced during the game.
Penalties were relatively low with only six infractions costing them fifty-five yards; this disciplined play ensured that momentum remained with the visiting team throughout most phases of play.
As fans look ahead, they can anticipate another opportunity to support their team when the Ole Miss Rebels host Tulsa Golden Hurricane at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford on September twenty-fourth at eight o'clock PM local time (twenty o'clock). This upcoming contest will be broadcasted on SEC Network via satellite channel six hundred eleven for fans unable to attend in person.
