down conversion try in Georgia loss
ESPN••general
Key Points:
- Georgia's season was arguably doomed by a critical miscue on a fourth-and-2 play in the Sugar Bowl, where the ball was snapped unexpectedly to punter Gunner Stockton, resulting in a sack and a quick Ole Miss score.
- Coach Kirby Smart acknowledged the mistake was on the coaching staff, explaining the snap was not supposed to happen and that analytics had advised going for it on fourth down.
- Georgia had earlier executed a successful fake punt in the game, but the late-game turnover and defensive struggles, allowing 473 yards, contributed to their 39-34 loss to Ole Miss.
- The defeat ended Georgia's 75-game winning streak when leading at the start of the fourth quarter and marked their second consecutive season-ending
