Schedule Update: Georgia Football vs. Ole Miss Rebels Start Time in Week 8 Battle

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will make their way to Athens in Week 8 with the stage set for a Top-10 SEC matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

With ESPN's College GameDay in attendance, a star-studded guest list, and more, there's significant buzz in the Peach State for what's been labeled as the "Game of the Week" in college football.

For Kiffin and the Rebels, it's about remaining even-keeled and taking it one step at a time against a fiery Bulldogs crew.

"We’re going to have to stay really focused. Heard Kirby talking about the noise and how it needed to be the loudest the stadium’s ever been. I’m sure it will be. But both [teams] have to play in the noise.

"They actually verbally communicate more on defense than we do on offense. Rare game like that. The noise is not the biggest factor at all in the game. It’ll be blocking, tackling, catching, throwing and taking care of the football."

Lane Kiffin's Take: Kirby Smart is CFB's Top Coach

"I think our guys are really excited for this opportunity. This isn’t coach-speak, it’s facts, this is the elite program in college football with the top coach [Kirby Smart] in college football," Kiffin said.

"Continues to win at an unbelievable rate, especially nowadays with how challenging it is with our conference and NIL. Shoot, the last five years they’re 28-1 at home with their last loss just coming to Alabama and 51-3 overall. Two Alabama regular-season losses and then our Ole Miss game [last year]."
