In an era of choreographed dances, Nate Frazier’s touchdown celebration is a quiet, powerful statement that resonates far beyond the end zone in Georgia. After finding the end zone, the first thing Frazier does is drop to his knees and point to the sky. When asked about it, the sophomore gave all the credit to “the one above.”

Safe to say that faith has quietly become one of Frazier’s most prominent anchors this season.

After Trevor Etienne left for the NFL, all eyes turned to Frazier, and he delivered. If you look at Georgia’s offense this year, he has essentially been Gunner Stockton’s best friend and the Bulldogs’ go-to playmaker.

He’s also been unafraid to speak openly about what drives him. During an episode of Nightcap, Frazier doubled down on his beliefs when he told Johnson, “I gotta go to sleep, OG, you know I’ve got church in the morning. Got to go, praise the Lord, all glory to Him.”

He even hit that ‘All glory to the Lord’ celebration against Alabama in the SEC championship game.

The Compton native leads the team with over 860 rushing yards and has scored 7 TDs so far. What really makes him stand out is his explosive and reliable nature. The coaches love to call him a “home run threat” because he can take the ball to the house from pretty much anywhere on the field.

Don’t look further than the Mississippi State game, where he ran for 181 yards.

The head coach, Kirby Smart, has mentioned that Frazier has a bit of a fumbling problem that they need to sort out. It’s an issue they are working hard on in practice and film sessions. Despite that one drawback, his overall performance has been top-notch, earning him a spot on the Third-Team All-SEC list for his outstanding season.

Looking ahead, the future is bright for him. Off the field, he’s popular, with big endorsements from brands like Beats by Dre and Chipotle. Best of all for Georgia fans, he’s not eligible for the NFL Draft yet because he’s only a sophomore. That means they get to see his exciting play for at least one more season as he looks to hit the 1,000-yard mark.

That blend of on-field explosiveness and off-field conviction will be put to the ultimate test as the Bulldogs prepare for their postseason clash with a familiar foe: the Ole Miss Rebels.

Georgia Bulldogs’ shot against Ole Miss Rebels

If there’s one team outside of Alabama that has given Georgia trouble over the past two seasons, it’s Ole Miss. Even this year, the Bulldogs barely escaped with a 45–38 win over the Rebels.

The consensus among experts is that Ole Miss has a dangerous two-headed offensive attack in Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss, both capable of putting points on the board at any time against any team.

Still, Georgia’s defense has really improved since their last meeting and might be the difference-maker this time around. They held Alabama to just 7 points in the SEC Championship game last month.

Many analysts are leaning toward a lower-scoring game than the first one, but almost all predict a Bulldogs victory.

So, what are the Bulldogs’ chances overall in the playoffs? Pretty darn good! They currently have the third-best odds of winning the national championship, behind powerhouses like Ohio State and Indiana.

Ultimately, this game will come down to who makes the clutch plays. If Nate Frazier continues to impact the game as both a runner and pass catcher, and if Georgia’s defense maintains its recent form, the Bulldogs will have a very real shot at bringing home their first national title since 2023.
