Chaotic scenes as stage for Ole Miss Sugar Bowl presentation is brought onto field early... before refs reveal ONE SECOND is still on clock

Ole Miss' dramatic Sugar Bowl win over Georgia ended in farcical fashion after stadium staff began setting up for a trophy presentation before the game was officially over.

After Lucas Carneiro's field goal had edged the Rebels ahead with six seconds remaining, the Bulldogs went with a lateral on the kickoff return, only for the ball to roll into the end zone for a safety with one second left to leave them trailing 39-34.

Ole Miss stars thought their victory was confirmed as they raced onto the field in jubilation, forgetting that Georgia still actually had a second to attempt an onside kick.

And when they successfully recovered that onside kick attempt, stadium officials at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans jumped the gun and began moving the stage for Ole Miss' trophy presentation onto the field.

However, what the staffers failed to realize was that, because Ole Miss didn't touch the ball, no time had been taken off the clock - meaning referees announced that the final second still needed to be played.

Superdome staffers were quickly forced to drag the stage back off the field before officials restarted the game, but fortunately their blushes were spared when Georgia failed to capitalize on the extra second.

Ole Miss players were then finally able to celebrate winning the Sugar Bowl and advancing to the college football playoff semifinal at the third time of asking.
