Game Overview
The Ole Miss Rebels (ranked 21st) open their 2025 season as massive favorites hosting the Georgia State Panthers.

- No major injuries reported for either team. Ole Miss will start Austin Simmons at QB, with confidence from offseason preparation.
- Home game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford gives Ole Miss a significant home-field advantage. Weather and travel conditions do not appear to adversely affect the visitors.
