Live Updates: Georgia 43 Ole Miss 35, Final

Athens, Ga – Georgia is the host of another big game atmosphere in Athen on Saturday. The Bulldogs host No. 5-ranked Ole Miss inside Sanford Stadium at 3:30 p.m.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart called for ‘the best atmosphere Sanford Stadium has ever seen’ on Monday. Ole Miss’ offense is one that relies on communication on the field with head coach Lane Kiffin.

“We need the best atmosphere we’ve ever had in Sanford Stadium,” Smart told reporters on Monday. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Lane (Kiffin), he does an incredible job. He’s probably one of the best things he does is in-game coaching, having coached with him and watched him for years. He has an impact on the quarterback, the offensive play, and the ability to communicate with the quarterback. Whether it’s by headset or by sideline, he does a great job of getting the quarterback’s attention and getting them in the right place based on looks. He probably does that better than anybody else in the country.”

“So, the challenge has been issued for our fan base to be extremely difficult for them to communicate and do things offensively that they do, especially at home and sometimes on the road when it’s not the right environment,” Smart continued.

Ole Miss comes in unbeaten. They held on for a tight, 24-21 win over Washington State last weekend. Georgia was on the road and earned a 20-10 win over Auburn on the Plains.
