It was a question of when, not if, the fans would storm the field. And they hurried.

The Bulldogs faced a fourth-and-20 from their own 20-yard line with 27 seconds remaining. After completing a pass, Georgia’s Arian Smith failed to record a first down.

The clock stopped with 16 seconds left and Ole Miss was going to run out the clock. The party was on and fans stormed the field.

However, the game wasn’t over, causing some havoc as referees, security and even the announcer attempted to remove hundreds of fans from the field.

Order was quickly restored and the fans left the field. But as soon as he took a final knee, fans ran back onto the field.

And it didn’t take long for them to knock down one of the goal posts.
