The party is on in Oxford.

The 16th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels defeated No. 3 Georgia, 28-10, Saturday in Mississippi.

It wasn't the ideal start for Ole Miss after Jaxson Dart’s first pass was intercepted.

The Bulldogs promptly turned it into seven points, but Ole Miss answered right back with a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive of its own. After forcing a three and out, the Rebels went on to convert two field goals to go up 16-7.

After halftime, Georgia kicked a field goal to make it a six-point game.

On Ole Miss' first drive out of the half, Dart completed all four of his passes, including a 10-yard score to Antwane Wells Jr. The two-point conversion failed, but it was the largest lead of the game with 6:10 to go in the third.

The Bulldogs were driving midway through the fourth quarter to find some life, but a Carson Beck pass was tipped at the line and intercepted by Ole Miss. The Rebels knocked down a chip-shot field goal to go up 25-10 with 3:22 to go.

Georgia needed a miracle. And on the second play of its next drive, Beck lost a fumble, all but icing it and prompting chants of "overrated" from the Rebel crowd. Ole Miss knocked down a field goal off that turnover to make it a three-possession game with 1:11 to go.

It was redemption for Ole Miss, which lost by 35 to the Bulldogs last year while allowing over 600 yards of total offense, the most lopsided defeat in Lane
