Remember that bit about things getting weird? It doesn't get any weirder than Nick Chubb coughing up the football, as he did on this second quarter pass.

Colonels wide receiver C. J. Bates catches a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter over UGA cornerback Malkom Parrish. Which is weird, given that Coach Smart was screaming from the sideline before the play began that the ball was going to Bates.
