Trash flies as Ole Miss fans rage over controversial calls vs. Georgia
Stop us if you've heard this before: Fans disgusted by questionable calls in a high-profile game vs. Georgia are throwing trash onto the field . During the first half of No. 12 Mississippi's home game vs. visiting, second-ranked Georgia, a pair of officiating decisions resulted in Ole Miss fans losing their temper — and throwing objects onto the field . The first of those occurred in the 11-minute mark of the second quarter with Ole Miss already trailing 21-0. A roughing the passer penalty on defensive end Jordan Renaud wiped off a Gunner Stockton interception, allowing the Bulldogs to continue their drive (which ultimately ended with a punt). Wow. An Ole Miss INT gets wiped off the board due to a flag on this play thrown for roughing the passer. RIGHT or WRONG call? pic.twitter.com/ISgQ6NZEcp — SEC Unfiltered (@SECUnfiltered) November 8, 2026 Roughly 6:30 minutes of game clock later, Ole Miss fans again threw trash onto the field after a Jaylon Braxton defensive pass interference call extended another Georgia drive after the 3rd-and-3 play. This time, Ole Miss fans were so incensed they threw enough trash onto the field to warrant a game delay to clear debris from the field.

College football rankings poll projection: Who will be No. 1 after Week 10 upsets?
Georgia blew out Ole Miss and is poised to return to No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Miami lost on the road to Notre Dam e. The Bulldogs were previously No. 1 for one week in October but then lost to Auburn . The Hurricanes have spent the past three weeks atop the poll but will fall multiple spots after losing 31-24 in South Bend. The loss will trigger a shakeup across the entire top 10. That begins with uncertainty after Georgia, where Utah could rise to No. 2 and UCLA to No. 3 after both remained unbeaten. There could be as many as four SEC teams in the top 10 should Tennessee get a boost from routing Kentucky . At the very least, the conference will have Georgia, Alabama and Texas in the top seven. Here’s how the top 10 of this week’s Coaches Poll should look: 1. Georgia (8-1) It was 28-0 at halftime and 42-7 in the end at Ole Miss that put a damper on the home crowd. It seems like Georgia has taken to hear the lessons learned during last month’s strange loss to Auburn . The Bulldogs are a deserving No.

At least 10 players ruled out for Georgia-Ole Miss game
The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 in SEC) prepare for a season-defining matchup against the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels (6-2, 4-2 in SEC). With Georgia 's SEC championship bid in the balance and Ole Miss's playoff chances in the balance, both teams are going to need all hands on deck. Unfortunately, with the physicality of the sport, there are bound to be injuries, and there are a few for both teams . Ole Miss has a lengthy list of outs for their game against Georgia. For starters, star running back Kewan Lacy has officially been listed as out. Pete Golding said that it was unlikely for Lacy to play in this game against Georgia due to his dislocated shoulder injury, and Lacy's far from the only one. Safety Edwin Joseph is also listed as out for the game too. Defensive lineman Kam Franklin and leading tackler Keaton Thomas were listed as questionable, while cornerback Jalyn Crawford and left tackle Terez Davis were listed as probable. Ole Miss will get back linebacker Luke Ferrelli for the game, but a lot could change on Saturday. For Georgia, only Amaris Williams is out, with him still recovering from a torn ACL.
