Twitter reacts to Georgia's struggles against Ole Miss
Georgia’s first half in Oxford has gone about as poorly as one could ever imagine, with the Bulldogs trailing 31-0 at the half. One ESPN writer said it makes another SEC East matchup even bigger:
After watching the first half of this Georgia-Ole Miss carnage, is the Florida-Tennessee clash today the SEC East championship game?

Ole Miss moved the ball at will, averaging a first down per play:
If it seemed like the Ole Miss Rebels moved the ball with ease in the first half, it might be because they averaged 10.1 yards per snap.

Ole Miss 31, Georgia 0. Not even a Hugh Freeze halftime speech can mess this up.

The Rebels appeared determined to avoid a second-half collapse, making it 38-0 on their first possession of the third quarter.
UGA’s biggest offensive play of the first half came courtesy of the special teams unit on a fake punt:
Georgia's gotta just run Fake Punt every down

First good thing Georgia has done: stellar fake punt. See if it sparks something.

Fake punt is Georgia's best offensive formation

Georgia gains 29 yards on a pass from Marshall Long on a fake punt. That right there is the longest pass of the day for Georgia.

Too bad every play can't be a fake punt for Georgia

But even the fake punt couldn’t get Georgia going:
After successful fake punt: Georgia had at least 2 dropped passes and possibly a third (if McKenzie had come down in bounds on last one).

One prominent Dawg, however, isn’t giving up on a comeback:
35 points next half I believe in you UGA.
