Weird scheduling tidbit I noticed: this is the first time in the series history that one of the schools hosts four matches in a row. Guess we'll see if Ole Miss gets to host in 2025 since this is the only meeting this season. Ole Miss hosted back-to-back matches in November 2021.

I think Georgia turns it around with this one. Tom is a good coach and they are hopefully a bit less banged up by Sunday. Big game from Fisher can get them over the line. If Ole Miss can get the block going like Alabama did then I think they have a chance but I’m thinking Dawgs in 4.
