The Ole Miss Rebels will square off against Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs on Thursday night in the Allstate Sugar Bowl with an opportunity to make history in the Bayou State.

After capturing a win over Tulane in the opening round of the College Football Playoff, Pete Golding and Co. continue the program's quest at a National Championship this season.

“I would say it’s hard to beat a team twice. So I feel like coming with the right mindset and just trying to be dominant this time around and finish the game is just very important,” Lacy said. “We’re going to have a lot of fans out there, so it’s going to be a great environment.”

Now, with game day arriving in New Orleans, the Ole Miss Rebels will look to punch a ticket to the College Football Playoff semifinals with a victory,

Pete Golding's Take: Spot the Ball

"At the end of the day, you’ve got to spot the ball. It’s not going to be the call that wins the game. It’s going to be the execution of the call and the communication of 11 guys being on the same page and playing extremely hard and contesting every play. It gets back to the players, no doubt."
