No. 5 Ole Miss Rebels, who were the severe 7.5-point underdogs entering Athens for a game against the Georgia Bulldogs, are currently dominating the scoreboard.
At halftime, the Rebels lead the Bulldogs 21-20, thanks to the quick feet of Kewan Lacy and the perfect execution of the Rebels' pass game under QB Trinidad Chambliss' leadership.
Lacy accounted for two touchdowns in the first half, giving the Rebels exactly the boost they needed to establish their dominance over Georgia.
What made that way more interesting were the predictions coming from ESPN's College GameDay. None of the hosts or guests, including Nick Saban, picked Ole Miss to win over Georgia.

If Ole Miss proves their prediction flat-out wrong today, it will all be because of Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss.
The Bulldogs were 0-3 in the lead in the first quarter, when Chambliss' 7-yard rushing TD put the Rebels at 7-3.
The second quarter was what you call a classic tussle for a lead. It started with Bulldogs QB Gunner Stockton getting a lead entering with a completed TD pass that put Georgia at 10-7.
But Ole Miss came prepared this time, especially Kewan Lacy. Lacy rushed for a 1-yard TD, putting the Rebels in the lead at 14-10 over Georgia. Stockton made another attempt to take back the lead, with a stunning 22-yard rushing TD put Georgia at 17-14.
But Lacy was quick to follow that up with another 1-yard TD, with Rebels at 21-17. Georgia attempted another field goal accounting for 3 points, but thanks to Lacy's extraordinary plays, the Rebels stayed in lead at halftime.
Even the defense is doing a decent job of holding off the Bulldogs' offense as much as they can.
