2. Viral Jackson Arnold fumble gave Georgia new life
Auburn was closing in on taking a 17-0 lead late in the first half, but that is when the craziest play of the season unfolded.
The Tigers had the ball on the Georgia 1-yard line and decided to QB sneak it with Jackson Arnold. As Arnold extended for the goal line, Georgia punched the ball out and recovered the fumble. The officials called a fumble on the field, but multiple replay angles made it look like Arnold got the ball across the goal line before fumbling. But the officials determined there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the fumble, so the call on the field stood as called.
This clearly was a huge break for Georgia as they avoided going down by three scores. However, Kyron Jones appeared to have recovered the ball on top of another Bulldogs back and ran 100 yards for what he thought was a Georgia touchdown.
Even though Georgia wasn't awarded that touchdown, they have to be extremely thankful the refs ruled the Arnold keeper a fumble. Instead of falling behind 17-0, Georgia scored a field goal to make it 10-3 at the half which gave them a chance heading into the second half.
