After scoring touchdowns on their first five drives and building up a 35-26 lead, Lane Kiffin and the Rebels looked like they were sitting pretty against Georgia.

No. 9 Georgia outscored No. 5 Ole Miss 43-35, delivering the Rebels’ their first loss of the season and shaking up the SEC race.

Georgia outscored Ole Miss 17-0 in the fourth quarter as it erased a nine-point deficit.

But Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter is looking to avoid any head coaching drama in Oxford with the program eyeing a new deal for Kiffin. “I’d love to get something done like Indiana did with Curt Cignetti (on Thursday) before the silly season starts. We’ll see,” Carter told On3 Sports.
