Georgia standouts deliver in win at Ole Miss

Georgia handed Ole Miss its first home loss since 2024 on Saturday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and Dawg Sports identified Talyn Taylor, Raylen Wilson and Drew Miller as the Bulldogs’ leading performers. The selections covered explosive passing plays and defensive containment of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. The punt unit also controlled field position.

Taylor produced a career night with 4 catches for 140 yards and three touchdowns. His field-stretching speed translated into major gains, and he finished without a drop.

While shadowing Chambliss for much of the game, Wilson made 7 tackles. That assignment asked Wilson to limit the quarterback’s ability to turn broken plays into damaging gains, an area Dawg Sports cited as a problem for Georgia in last year’s Sugar Bowl.

The defensive choice came from a strong group of candidates. Chris Cole led Georgia in tackles and recorded a sack and a half, while Rasean Dinkins finished with 5 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery. Wilson received the nod because his production came with the added responsibility of tracking Chambliss.

Miller answered Kirby Smart’s concerns about the punt team’s inability to pin opponents deep. He punted three times, placing one at the Ole Miss 2 and another at the 11. His final kick went to the Rebel 34 for a fair catch.

Taylor supplied the scoring punch, Wilson handled a demanding defensive assignment and Miller gave Georgia the field-position performance Smart had wanted.

Why it matters

Taylor’s production gave Georgia three touchdowns and 140 receiving yards. Wilson helped contain Chambliss, while Miller placed punts at the Ole Miss 2 and 11.
