The Georgia Bulldogs have a massive challenge on their hands today.

The Georgia Bulldogs are headed into an absolutely massive game tonight against the Ole Miss Rebels, potentially their most difficult of the season in a place where Kirby Smart has never won before.

While like the rest of the conference there have been ups and downs, the Rebels have shown to be capable of beating anyone, and Kirby Smart has his work cut out for him on both sides of the ball at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Dawgs need Gunner Stockton to be better than he has been and the offense to get back to their form from the beginning of the season, but even more important than that is what they do on defense.

Stockton did not play his best game in the Sugar Bowl defeat to Ole Miss, but make no mistake, the Rebels won the game because Trinidad Chambliss had a generational performance the likes of which cannot be repeated. If Georgia needs to do one thing to leave Oxford without a second loss, it's keeping Chambliss in check.

Bulldogs Cannot Let Chambliss Torch Them Again

In the Sugar Bowl, Chambliss completed 30 of his 46 passing attempts for 362 yards and two touchdowns. Every time it looked like Georgia had him dead to rights, Chambliss found a way to escape and roll out to make big play after big play.

He has the kind of performance which will go down in college football history and the defense did not have any answers for it. This time around, while Chambliss will undoubtedly still be able to make plays, the Dawgs absolutely have to contain him and prevent him from completely taking the game over.

Whether that means forcing him to stay in the pocket or even just getting him on the ground a few more times than they did last season, by whatever means necessary Georgia has to limit the playmaking ability of Chambliss.

These are two different teams, but the strategy must be to not let the veteran quarterback beat you. With superstar running back Kewan Lacy out, much more pressure will be put on Chambliss to carry this offense on his back.

The Bulldogs have to be on it defensively, because any lapse will mean Chambliss has found an open receiver who is running freely down the field into the end zone. If Georgia can correct from last year and figure out a way to keep Chambliss from going nuts again, they are going to have a great chance to win.
