Hat trick: Talyn Taylor hauls in 3rd touchdown for Georgia against Ole Miss

Talyn Taylor and the Georgia Bulldogs were in complete control against Ole Miss from the beginning, and Taylor played a huge role in that.
With the Bulldogs already leading 35-7 in the fourth quarter, Taylor added to his career night with his third touchdown as he caught a pass from Gunner Stockton from 65 yards out to extend the lead.
Entering Saturday night, Taylor had 286 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
The game was supposed to be another classic between these teams, after they played two classic games last season. However, the Bulldogs remembered that their season ended at the hands of Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff last season, and played like a team on a mission.
UGA was able to establish the rushing attack early in the game, as it rushed for 183 yards in the first half alone. That helped set up the play-action game and created opportunities for Stockton and Georgia’s offense to make plays in the passing game.
With the way Georgia can run the ball, opposing defenses are going to have to put an extra player at the line of scrimmage. If Taylor and the Bulldogs are able to consistently make big plays in the passing game, then they will be very difficult for any team in college football to beat.
