Most of the trash was thrown in the north end zone that is nearest to the Ole Miss student section.
Fans in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium were upset about a couple different penalties in the game. Halfway through the second quarter, an interception by Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton was erased when Ole Miss defensive lineman Jordan Renaud was called for a roughing the passer penalty. Fans were also upset with a pass interference call against Ole Miss later in the game.
The SEC said it is not suspending alcohol sale privileges at Ole Miss, but it reserves the right to do so.
