The Rebels welcome the Bulldogs to Oxford on Saturday in the 48th meeting between these two schools.
will meet in Oxford on Saturday, marking the second year in a row these two schools have played in a rivalry that has been forgotten to time. The Rebs and the Dawgs played every year from 1966 to 2002, but once the SEC went to a division format, this matchup became less frequent.
Both are founding members of the Southeastern Conference and had some good battles in the Johnny Vaught and Vince Dooley eras. The Bulldogs lead the series 33-12-1 and blew out the Rebels last year in Athens, but nowThe significance of the 1989 win over Georgia can't be overstated. The Rebels hadn't beaten the Dawgs since 1976, a thirteen-year drought where Ole Miss only had a handful of winning seasons.
The Rebels have gotten bigger, faster, and more explosive up front on defense, an area that was a glaring weakness in the rain at Sanford Stadium. A win over the Bulldogs would also catapult a Rebel team that was counted out less than a month ago after a loss at home to Kentucky and an overtime loss to LSU in Death Valley. The Rebels have a chance to right the wrongs and prove the doubters wrong in a game where the whole country will be watching.
