Daylen Everette (46 yards)
After a fumble on kickoff and another defensive miscue, Georgia finds themselves in a deep hole. Georgia defensive back JaCorey Thomas was ejected for hitting Ole Miss receiver Cayden Lee with his shoulder – this penalty being his fifth of the game after receiving two earlier ejections – which enabled Lucas Carniero’s 47-yard field goal kick to give Mississippi a 39-34 win and leave Georgia’s defense reeling badly from Raylen Wilson and JaCorey Thomas leaving but they managed to limit damage within their defense despite losing two key contributors defenders Raylen Wilson and JaCorey Thomas but managed to contain any further offensive threats on offense thanks to their efforts on defense.
Ole Miss was led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns. Harrison Wallace caught nine passes for 156 yards and one score, with De’Zhaun Stribling recording seven receptions for 122 yards. Kewan Lacy ran for 98 yards and two scores. Ole Miss was playing without its head coach Lane Kiffin who left for LSU in November; nevertheless they have performed admirably under interim coach Pete Golding.
In the fourth quarter, Mississippi had an opportunity to take the lead when they had possession at Georgia’s 10-yard line, but a pass batted off by Georgia cornerback Daylen Everette allowed Georgia defenders a chance to sack quarterback Taylor Martinez and stop their drive before punting and Lucas Carniero kicking a 56-yard field goal for Georgia that set an all-time Sugar Bowl record of most yards in one field goal attempt.
With less than a minute remaining in the game and neither team possessing timeouts, both teams were tied and field goal range. On third down for the Rebels in field goal range, Chambliss found Stribling for 40 yards; setting them up perfectly for Carniero to kick the winning field goal with less than 30 seconds left on the clock.
Daylen Everette is an impressive safety prospect who can cover both inside and outside receivers. A smooth athlete with great length and foot speed, as well as good run-through pop and mirroring skills in man coverage he also excels at run support and press coverage, yet lacks quickness and sudden acceleration from transitions.
Kewan Lacy (40 yards)
The Bulldogs trailed five of their first six SEC games but managed to come from behind and prevail, including wins over No. 15 Tennessee in Knoxville, No. 5 Ole Miss in Athens, No. 3 Auburn on the road and now Florida at Jacksonville where the score was tied at 10 at halftime.
Junior running back Kewan Lacy, who led his team last season with 1,346 yards and 17 touchdowns, had a breakout afternoon against Mississippi State. On his first two carries alone he amassed 40 yards before scoring on a 3-yard run to move within one rushing yard of joining the all-time career leaders for both total yards and touchdowns in SEC history.
Junior wide receiver Zachariah Branch had an outstanding day as well, posting 10 receptions for 112 yards for his best game against Florida since 2013.
Freshman defensive back CJ Allen led all players with 13 tackles while junior linebacker Jordan Hall led with 8.
Senior OT Dillon Bell also played an instrumental role in UT’s comeback win, helping spearhead a drive that resulted in the game-winning touchdown, while holding Florida to just 107 yards rushing during the second half. Meanwhile, UTF outgained them by rushing for an incredible 138 yards total to take a 24-20 edge. Since 2010, this was Georgia’s biggest rushing output against Florida since 2010.
They limited UF to just 107 yards on 56 plays and held them scoreless on third down conversion attempts. Furthermore, with about seven minutes remaining they went 75 yards in eight plays to score their final TD of the day. This drive featured a successful third-and-7 conversion (12-yard completion to Dillon Bell).
Junior tight end Gunner Stockton recorded four receptions against Florida for at least his fourth reception of any game against UF this season – giving him at least four catches per contest against them and rating of 96 in EA Sports College Football 27.
De’Zhaun Stribling (40 yards)
De’Zhaun Stribling may have only just began his professional career, yet he’s already making waves in Santa Clara. Multiple coaches and teammates have raved about De’Zhaun’s practice reviews; coaches specifically have highlighted his physicality, catch radius, speed, and reliable hands as points of praise for him.
Stribling was selected with the 33rd overall pick in 2026 draft by San Francisco and proved quite an unexpected selection on Day Two of draft season. Although he wasn’t exactly an instantaneous household name at college – having split time at Washington State and Oklahoma State before spending a season at Ole Miss – his five year collegiate career saw 216 receptions totalling 2,964 yards and 23 touchdowns! Despite having low profile credentials – Stribling hailing from Kapolei Hawaii had an extremely productive collegiate career totaling 216 receptions totalling 2,964 yards and 23 touchdowns!
Stribling’s first game action saw him catch four out of five targets for 46 yards, as well as additional targets with the starting offense while starters Brock Purdy and Deebo Samuel rested. Additionally, Stribling made an important out route catch near red zone that helped set up Lucas Carneiro’s game-winning field goal in fourth quarter.
Stribling faces tough competition in Year 1 with Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Christian Kirk for playing time; nevertheless he’s made an encouraging start. Stribling’s size, speed, and reliable hands could make him an effective deep threat; making him an appealing late-round flier fantasy football-wise. In pass protection reps as well he displayed some excellent runs versus blitzers.
Lucas Carniero (47 yards)
Lucas Carniero hit three field goals for Georgia during the second half, leading them to victory 24-20 over Florida at Gator Stadium. Georgia amassed 197 yards on 42 plays over 20 minutes of possession time – their junior Zachariah Branch made 10 receptions for 112 yards for his first 100-yard game of 2018 against them, marking both his first ever 100-yard performance this year and second in career vs UF.
Starting the second half, Georgia drove 75 yards in eight plays to score on an opening drive TD against Florida for their first score since Zamir White in 2013. It featured an amazing third-and-7 conversion (Gunner Stockton to Dillon Bell on 3rd-and-7, 12 yards complete). It marked Georgia’s first opening drive TD since Zamir White scored it back in 2013.
Georgia employed its same offensive line against Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Florida; Monroe Freeling at left tackle (LT), Micah Morris in linebacker positions (LG and C), Drew Bobo at center, and Earnest Greene III on right guard (RT). That unit held Florida to just two rushing yards during its initial four plays of the second half. These performances also contribute to the Georgia Bulldogs Football Vs Ole Miss Rebels Football Match Player Stats.
