Preview

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Even as double-digit favorites, the Rebels don’t want to join the crowd of Southeastern Conference teams already with nonconference losses. Just in the Western Division, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M have dropped games. Ole Miss opens SEC play next week at No. 10 Alabama after beating a ranked Tulane team on the road. Georgia Tech would love to gain some redemption after losing to Ole Miss 42-0 last season in Atlanta.

KEY MATCHUP

The Ole Miss defense against Georgia Tech’s (so far) balanced offense. The Rebels’ offense gets most of the attention, but the defense has allowed only 27 points through two games. The Yellow Jackets are averaging 533 yards and 41 points and producing 312 passing yards a game. The Rebels have eight players with one sack apiece and have registered 17 tackles for loss.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Georgia Tech: QB Haynes King hasn’t played against Ole Miss, but he’s very familiar with the SEC. King spent three seasons at Texas A&M before transferring to Georgia Tech. Now, he leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 301.5-yard passing average and seven passing touchdowns.

Ole Miss: RB Quinshon Judkins was held in check against Tulane, but a breakout game seems inevitable for the All-SEC runner. The question is will it come in this one after Judkins was held to 48 yards on 18 carries last weekend.
