No. 2 Georgia-No. 10 Ole Miss game delayed as Rebel fans throw trash onto the field after DPI call
Georgia took a 28-0 lead shortly after play resumed.
With roughly five minutes remaining before halftime, the clash between No. 2 Georgia and No. 10 Ole Miss was momentarily interrupted on Saturday night. The Bulldogs were in possession of the ball when Ole Miss defensive back Jaylon Braxton committed a defensive pass interference (DPI) against Craig Dandridge, who was pursuing a deep pass from Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton.
Although it appeared there was no foul in real-time, replays revealed Braxton grabbing Dandridge's left arm. Ole Miss fans, dissatisfied with the decision, erupted in boos, which quickly transitioned into the hurling of trash onto the field as officials and staff worked to clear the area.
Following the incident, the game was halted for approximately six minutes, necessitating multiple announcements over the public address system and messages displayed on the video board to calm the crowd. At that point, Georgia was leading 21-0. Ole Miss fans' frustration boiled over, culminating in the field being littered with discarded items. Once play resumed, Stockton scored a 15-yard touchdown, catapulting Georgia to an early 28-0 advantage.
