First Quarter


The first quarter set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by Ole Miss. The Rebels opened up with a strong drive that culminated in an early touchdown, putting them ahead of Georgia State right from the start. Their defense also held firm, preventing any scoring opportunities for the Panthers.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Ole Miss continued to exert pressure on both sides of the ball. Austin Simmons led an efficient passing attack, completing 20 out of 31 attempts for 341 yards and three touchdowns despite two interceptions. His connection with wide receiver Harrison Wallace was particularly effective; Wallace recorded five receptions for 130 yards and one touchdown.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, Ole Miss maintained their momentum through strategic plays and solid execution. Running back Kewan Lacy emerged as a key player during this period, rushing for three touchdowns on his way to accumulating 108 yards on just sixteen carries.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw Ole Miss seal their victory emphatically with additional scores that left no room for doubt about their superiority in this matchup. Logan Diggs contributed significantly to this effort by adding another rushing touchdown alongside his impressive tally of ninety-one yards gained on seven attempts.


Defensively, Zxavian Harris stood out with one sack and an interception that thwarted any potential comeback efforts from Georgia State. The Landsharks' defensive unit collectively limited the Panthers' offense throughout all four quarters effectively.


This comprehensive performance by Mississippi's team not only highlights individual talents but also underscores cohesive teamwork across all facets—offense, defense—and special teams alike—a promising start indeed!
