Georgia was basically cruising in its game at Mississippi State on Saturday night.

But some curious play calling late in the 2nd quarter have changed the complexion of the game.

MSU kicked a FG to cut Georgia’s lead to 17-6 with 51 seconds to play in the opening half.

Georgia received the ensuing kickoff and could have easily run out the clock but instead threw 2 incomplete passes on 2nd and 3rd down, which set up a punt.

That punt was returned 63 yards by Zavion Thomas for a TD with 3 seconds on the clock that made it a 17-12 game at the half.

It was a curious way to end the half for Georgia and Kirby Smart, who rarely makes such blatant mistakes.

Not surprisingly, however, this mistake was the source of plenty of discussion on social media:
