this season despite a tough September.POLL IMPLI

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Tyre management is likely to be the key to success at the Belgian Grand Prix after teams and drivers have struggled to cope with the unusually high tyre pressures prescribed by Pirelli this weekend.Pirelli prescribes the tyre pressures ahead of each grand prix weekend, and since two tyre failures at the Belgian Grand Prix last year, those numbers have been enforced by the FIA to ensure tyres are not pushed beyond their limit. This weekend the pressures are set at 23.5 PSI at the front and 22 PSI at the rear, but several drivers have complained they are too high, resulting in overheating, blistering and high levels of performance degradation.The pressures are unbelievably high, McLaren driver Jenson Button said. Its amazing what we have to do to get these tyres in the working window. If you push on your outlap they are done by Turn 3 with blistering and overheating. What we have to do is crazy and Ive never had to do this before in my F1 career.Its the pressures, obviously its not helped by the temperatures, but we go to hot countries and I think Pirelli know that. Its a shame we are so high with the pressures because we are in a position at the moment where you cant push the car, you are just rolling around the whole time with the tyre.Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery said the unusually high temperatures at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend -- which have been around 32-35C, but were slightly cooler on race day morning -- are also contributing to the high degradation levels.The high track temperatures have increased the wear and degradation rates on a circuit that is already very demanding on tyres, he said. Were expecting two or three pit stops per car, depending on degradation rates.But Williams head of vehicle performance, Rob Smedley, said the pressures are the key contributing factor to degradation, regardless of temperatures.If theres any talk about the tyres there will be certain quarters that come here and defend it because its unnaturally hot, but we shouldnt hide behind the fact that running 24 PSI round here gives us massive degradation, he said. The modulus [tyre compound choices] is slightly on the more aggressive side, but the pressures are the principle reasons why we are having high degradation. Its a simple fact and we shouldnt hide behind anything that might help out certain quarters.We were upwards of trying to bleed off 30 seconds on the outlap [during qualifying], which is not normal at all. But with the very high starting pressures that we are obliged to run, it means that on track, even on one timed lap, we are still well above 22 PSI and on the longer runs, without management, they can get up to 24 or 25, as we saw in Firday practice.Its an area of the tyre we dont usually explore. For us we are desperate to try and get the pressures down because there is more performance and we understand the tyres more at those pressures, so we can act accordingly. Its a problem for all of us.Lewis Hamilton has already made clear that he expects to struggle with the tyres as he comes through the field from 21st on the grid, with the challenge of following in another cars dirty air making tyre management all the more difficult. Two or three stop strategies have been predicted by Pirelli, but Hamilton could have an ace up his sleeve after saving three sets of brand new soft tyres for the race -- a compound designed to work in high temperatures, unlike the super-soft and mediums.Meanwhile, team-mate Nico Rosberg will start from pole position on the soft tyres after using that compound to set his fastest time in Q2 and has two sets of new medium compound tyres available for the race, as well as one fresh set of softs. The two Ferraris and Daniel Ricciardo will also start the race on softs, but the rest of the top ten must use the super-soft at the start, which is only expected to last a handful of laps.

OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly faked the handoff and then took off running toward the end zone.

Ole Miss (2-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) broke a 10-game losing streak in the series dating to 1996.I cant think of a time in my lifetime where a team has done that to Georgia, said Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.Georgia (3-1, 1-1) lost its first game under new coach Kirby Smart and looked overmatched. To make matters worse, star running back Nick Chubb sprained an ankle in the second quarter and didnt return.It was an impressive win for the Rebels, who have played some of their worst football this season after gaining big leads. Ole Miss led Florida State by 22 points and Alabama by 21 this season before losing both games.Weve certainly had experiences that we should have learned from, Freeze said.Kelly was sharp from the opening series, completing 18 of 24 passes and adding the 41-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that was his last play of the afternoon.

Weve just got to keep on looking forward.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia: The Bulldogs were an interesting bunch after three straight wins to start the season, but after being stomped by the Rebels, it doesnt look like Georgia is anywhere near being an elite team.Ole Miss: The Rebels needed this one after blowing big leads in losses to Florida State and Alabama. Ole Miss proved it still can be a force in the SEC this season despite a tough September.POLL IMPLICATIONSGeorgia: The Bulldogs probably tumble in the rankings after being outplayed in pretty much all aspects of the game.Ole Miss: Look for the Rebels to jump a few spots.UP NEXTGeorgia: The Bulldogs host Tennessee next week in an SEC Eastern Division showdown.Ole Miss: The Rebels host Memphis in a non-conference game.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .
