An Absolute Movie”: Star QB Leads Jaw-Dropping 4th-Quarter Comeback to Stun No. 5 Ole Miss

You have to see it to believe it. Down by nine points with just 15 minutes to play, No. 9 Georgia pulled off one of the most incredible comebacks of the season, leaving No. 5 Ole Miss stunned in a 43-35 thriller.

For three quarters, this game belonged to Ole Miss. Their offense was on fire, scoring touchdowns on their first five straight drives. They had built a 35-26 lead and had complete control, silencing the home crowd in Athens. It looked like the game was over.

But then, the fourth quarter began, and the entire script was flipped.

Georgia’s defense suddenly became an unbreakable wall, completely shutting down the Ole Miss offense and not allowing them a single first down for the rest of the night. That’s when quarterback Gunner Stockton put the team on his back and became a legend.

Here’s how the impossible comeback happened:

• The Go-Ahead Drive: Stockton calmly marched his team 67 yards down the field, finishing with a perfect 7-yard touchdown pass to Lawson Luckie to steal a 40-35 lead.
• A Flawless Performance: Stockton played a near-perfect game, throwing for 4 touchdowns and running for another. His final stat line was incredible: 5 total TDs and 0 turnovers.
• The Defensive Stand: The game’s unsung heroes were on defense. After getting dominated for 45 minutes, they pitched a complete shutout in the final quarter when it mattered most.

It was a heartbreaking loss for Ole Miss, who were just minutes away from a season-defining victory. Instead, the story belongs to Georgia’s resilience and their star quarterback who refused to lose.

This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. A game that will be remembered as an instant classic. For a full breakdown of the stats, you can view the official box score on ESPN’s college football page.
