At least 10 players ruled out for Georgia-Ole Miss game
The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 in SEC) prepare for a season-defining matchup against the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels (6-2, 4-2 in SEC). With Georgia 's SEC championship bid in the balance and Ole Miss's playoff chances in the balance, both teams are going to need all hands on deck. Unfortunately, with the physicality of the sport, there are bound to be injuries, and there are a few for both teams . Ole Miss has a lengthy list of outs for their game against Georgia. For starters, star running back Kewan Lacy has officially been listed as out. Pete Golding said that it was unlikely for Lacy to play in this game against Georgia due to his dislocated shoulder injury, and Lacy's far from the only one. Safety Edwin Joseph is also listed as out for the game too. Defensive lineman Kam Franklin and leading tackler Keaton Thomas were listed as questionable, while cornerback Jalyn Crawford and left tackle Terez Davis were listed as probable. Ole Miss will get back linebacker Luke Ferrelli for the game, but a lot could change on Saturday. For Georgia, only Amaris Williams is out, with him still recovering from a torn ACL.

It’s important to remember that it’s no longer September but now November, when the hijinks of non-conference play are replaced by serious business. In its past eight quarters of football, No. 2 Georgia has not trailed for a single second in outscoring its two ranked opponents away from home 79-15 and running for more yards (512) than it has allowed overall (497). Those opponents were then-No. 17 Florida and No. 11 Mississippi. In the two games since a weird loss to Auburn , Georgia has turned back into the most complete team in the country. CFP rankings live predictions: We have a new No. 1, and it's bye bye, Buckeyes O-H... Oh no! Ohio State’s collapse empties The Shoe and earns Flop 10 shame That becomes even easier to believe when Gunner Stockton is back on track. He had maybe the worst start of his career against the Gators in completing 13 of 23 throws for a season-low 101 passing yards, though he didn’t turn the ball over. Against the Rebels, Stockton completed 9 of 15 passes for 186 yards, an average of 12.4 yards per attempt, with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a dominant 42-7 victory that will
