Ole Miss fans throw trash onto field during Georgia game

Ole Miss fans threw trash onto the field during Saturday night's game against No. 2 Georgia, causing a delay of about six minutes, according to Yahoo Sports.

What happened

The action was halted with about five minutes to go before halftime after Ole Miss defensive back Jaylon Braxton was called for defensive pass interference on Craig Dandridge, who was tracking a deep pass from Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton. The replay showed Braxton grabbing Dandridge's left arm.

Fans disagreed with the call. After boos rained down from the stands, trash followed. The Bulldogs were driving toward the Rebels' student section, and students tossed trash into the end zone as officers and staff cleaned up the mess. Officers tried to get it under control and for students to stop.

The game was delayed about six minutes, requiring repeated PA announcements and a message on the video board. At the time of the delay, Georgia was leading 21-0.

Game result

After play resumed, Stockton ran in a 15-yard touchdown to take the early 28-0 lead. Georgia went on to win 42-7.

Stockton completed nine passes for 186 yards and four touchdowns, and added 28 yards and a score on the ground. Georgia wide receiver Talyn Taylor finished with 140 yards and three touchdowns on four receptions.

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss finished 18 of 34 passing for 170 yards with an interception, and had nine rushes for -12 yards. Running back Shekai Mills-Knight scored the Rebels' lone touchdown on an 8-yard rush early in the fourth quarter.

Why it matters

The incident added to a difficult night for No. 10 Ole Miss, which suffered its third loss of the season. Georgia solidified a 35-point victory and was expected to take over as the No. 1 team in next week's CFP rankings after No. 1 Miami fell to No. 11 Notre Dame, 31-24.
