Ole Miss got to 39 points in the Sugar Bowl by mixing multiple touchdowns, a safety, and field goals in a back-and-forth game that ended with a late 47‑yard game‑winning field goal.

Scoring breakdown (how they reached 39)

Different exact drive charts vary slightly by source, but the basic pattern is:

  • Several offensive touchdowns: Ole Miss scored multiple offensive touchdowns led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, including passing scores and at least one rushing touchdown from Kewan Lacy.
  • At least one two‑point conversion: After one of Lacy’s fourth‑quarter rushing touchdowns, Ole Miss went for two and converted, pushing the score up instead of just adding a single extra point.
  • Multiple field goals: Kicker Lucas Carneiro hit more than one field goal, including the decisive 47‑yarder with six seconds left that moved the total to 39.
  • Opponent safety (not Ole Miss’ points): Georgia had a “chaotic kickoff” that resulted in a safety charged to them, which affected the flow of the game but did not add to Ole Miss’ total. This is part of why the scoring and timing felt weird for viewers.

Put simply, Ole Miss didn’t get 39 from any one “weird” play, but from a normal combination of touchdowns, at least one successful two‑point try, and several field goals, with the final tally landing on the unusual number 39 because of that mix.
