Some have dubbed the game the “Hot Seat Bowl” due to the current head coaching situations at both schools. Mark Richt is under fire after going 6-7 in 2010 and starting 0-2 in 2011. Houston Nutt went 4-8 in 2010 and is 1-2 this season, including a loss to Vanderbilt last week.
Both schools are looking to get their first SEC win of the season and get back to .500 overall.
Georgia and Ole Miss last met in 2007 in Athens. The Bulldogs won that game 45-17 and have won eight straight in the series.
Inside the numbers:
- Georgia is 30-12-1 against Ole Miss.

If the Dawgs arn't real careful they will leave Oxford with a big "L" and CMR closer to the unemployment line. Our OL will be a patchwork of epic standing. Defense must sack the QB and plug the run. On paper it's a Georgia "W" but with this bunch nothing, not even Coastal Carolina, is a gimme.
How bout this flashback to Georgia v. Ole Miss in 1980. We played them without Herschel because he was injured:

Thanks Mike. We'll get a post up on this soon (on vacation this week!).
Georgia will be fine against Ole Miss b/c the Rebels offense is atrocious!.....CMR will have our boys ready to play....he really shouldn't be on a "hot seat".....would a 9-3 or 10-2 season upset fans that much [i hope not] ....GO DAWGS!!!
