Ole Miss fans storm the field after huge win over Georgia

The No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels earned one of the biggest wins in program history on Saturday night, defeating the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs 28-10 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

This game was big for the Rebels (8-2, 4-2 SEC) for a number of reasons. First, it kept Ole Miss alive in the College Football Playoff race, a goal set this offseason after the Rebels revamped their roster through the transfer portal.

However, it also provided some historical significance. Saturday marked Ole Miss’ first win over a top-five opponent since 2015 (at Alabama), and the Rebels joined Alabama as the only team to beat Georgia since 2021. The last non-Alabama team to beat the Dawgs before this weekend was Florida in 2020.

Many fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium were already at field level in the final minute of the game, and some prematurely stormed the field when they thought the game had ended after a Bulldogs defeat. Ultimately, though, fans were given the opportunity to celebrate and took full advantage of it.

Ole Miss On SI photographer Carleigh Harbin was on site and captured the moments as they unfolded. You can view some of these images below.
