The call to interfere with the Texas-Georgia pass was overturned after a stoppage due to students throwing trash onto the field

Georgia vs. Texas score and live updates: Trevor Etienne's third TD run extends the Bulldogs' lead

Saturday night's game between Texas and Georgia ended with 2:48 left in the third quarter when Texas students threw water bottles and trash onto the field.

The incident occurred after Texas was cited for pass interference, negating an interception by the Longhorns' Jahdae Barron and a 36-yard return that looked like a bad call on replay.

As the trash came down, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and then other members of the Texas team walked to the corner of the end zone, waving their hands and telling students to stop. Cheerleaders and staff picked up the trash as the boos continued.

But after the interception, the officials ruled that there was no pass interference and that it was, in fact, Texas' ball.

“Well, I think someone had the courage to come forward and talk about the call,” ESPN rules analyst Bill LeMonnier said of the decision. “You know, they had a delay because of all the bottles on the field, but they got together and did the right thing.”

After the call, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jaydon Blue on second-and-goal.
