OXFORD, Miss. — In a thrilling matchup, Jaxson Dart connected with Antwane Wells Jr. for a 10-yard touchdown pass during the third quarter, helping the No. 16 Mississippi team claim a decisive 28-10 victory over the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.

Caden Davis played a pivotal role in the win, successfully converting five field goals as Mississippi improved its record to 8-2 overall and 4-2 in the Southeastern Conference, marking their third consecutive victory. Ulysses Bentley also made his mark early in the game with a 9-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

The excitement intensified as the rain-soaked student section erupted, storming the field with just 16 seconds remaining in the game, causing a brief delay. The jubilant scene unfolded again after Dart executed a kneeldown, signaling the end of the contest.
