“I’m gonna go with Georgia, that dang defense,” said Jones. “You can’t block all of them.”
The Bulldogs have the No. 12 total defense in the country. The unit is allowing just 17.3 points per game through Week 10.
Cross agreed with Jones’ sentiment, saying Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart “isn’t going to put up video game numbers” against this Georgia defense. Taylor also praised the Bulldogs for their ability to close out big games.
“Georgia elevates during the big games,” Taylor explained. “They find ways to rise up.”
Finally, Neuheisel also picked the Bulldogs to win and used the Texas game as a reference.
“The frenetic defense that you saw in Austin is on my mind,” said Neuheisel. “They have a chance to take this up another notch.”
The Bulldogs are 7-1 overall and 5-1 in SEC play entering the matchup. The Rebels, meanwhile, are 7-2 overall and 3-2 in conference matchups.
This rivalry game will kick off from Vaught-Hemingway on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
