Ole Miss suffered one of its worst losses of the season in a hostile Athens environment.

The Rebels have gone 2-2 in games with ranked opponents this season, beating Tulane and LSU while losing to Alabama and Georgia.

A 10-win season for Lane Kiffin is still a possibility with games against U.L. Monroe and Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl up next.

The 52-17 loss will sting, but there’s still a chance for the Rebels to head to a good bowl game when it’s all said and done.

Here’s how Ole Miss’ stock looks heading into Week 12:

Player of the Week: Quinshon Judkins

Quinshon Judkins had a rough start to the season, but is looking like the player Ole Miss had hoped he would be in the last few games. Judkins had 75 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns against Georgia.

Ole Miss gave Judkins 22 carries, and he also had 14 yards receiving on 3 receptions. Saturday was the first time in the last 4 games that Judkins didn’t have at least 100 yards on the ground. Judkins now has 868 yards rushing and 15 total touchdowns on the year.

The game got out hand, which didn’t allow for Judkins to get more yards. However, Ole Miss will continue to have success on offense by giving Judkins even more touches.

Newcomer of the Week: Daijahn Anthony

Daijahn Anthony was one of the few bright spots Ole Miss had on defense. He had 6 total tackles and the team’s only takeaway with 1 interception.

Anthony came to Oxford after spending the rest of his college career at Liberty. Although allowing 52 points is never good for a defense, Anthony stood out.

Anthony has been a veteran leader on defense this season. He’s currently 4th on the team in tackles (39) and 3rd on the team in interceptions (2). Anthony also has 2.5 tackles for loss, 6 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble this year.

Biggest surprise: Offensive struggles despite yards per play

Ole Miss averaged 7.2 yards per pass and 4 yards per run. This season Ole Miss has averaged 6.7 yards each play.

What killed the offense was getting to 3rd down. The offense was really stifled by its inability to convert in those situations.

Ole Miss kept up with Georgia until the game neared halftime as the lack of conversions started to pile up.

Biggest concern: Disappearing in big games

Ole Miss is still on pace for a 10-win season. However, both of the Rebels losses have been in some crucial games this year.

Lane Kiffin had Ole Miss march into Tuscaloosa with an undefeated record. Ole Miss ended up losing to the Crimson Tide 24-10 as the offense struggled on 3rd down and couldn’t get going.

Fast forward to Saturday, and the same thing happened again. Road games can always be tough in college football, especially in Tuscaloosa and Athens, but not showing up has been a problem and it’s hurt Ole Miss this season.

Developing trend: Lack of composure on the road

Road games have been not kind to Ole Miss this season.

Ole Miss has been called for 33 penalties in its road games this season. The Rebels are the second-most penalized team in the SEC behind Tennessee.

Ole Miss committed 9 penalties for 68 yards on Saturday. One more road game is left on the schedule, and it will be the Egg Bowl. Mississippi State is struggling right now, but helping out the Bulldogs with penalties could be a killer for Ole Miss.

Key stat: 12.6 yards per pass attempt

Georgia took apart the Ole Miss defense in a number of ways. The most effective way it did that was through the air. The Bulldogs averaged 12.6 yards per attempt on passing plays.

Ole Miss has been consistently one of the worst defenses in the SEC this season and Saturday was no different. Carson Beck almost had a career high in passing yards against the Rebels’ secondary. Beck was about 10 yards away from a new season high, which he set against Florida with 315 yards passing.

The secondary got dismantled by Georgia.

First Impressions about UL Monroe: Warhawks good chance to reset before Egg Bowl

After another tough road loss Ole Miss gets to go back home to Oxford to face U.L. Monroe. The Rebels have never lost to U.L. Monroe in program history as this game is nothing more than a chance to get right ahead of the Egg Bowl.

The Warhawks are 2-8 with nothing much left to play for this season. One final trip to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium before the end of the regular season should do the Rebels some good as the Egg Bowl inches closer.
