    Georgia football had some special guests on the field at halftime during Saturday's game against Mississippi State.

    Glen Powell, nearly unrecognizable to fans in his wig and aged makeup, led a group of "football players" out onto Dooley Field as the home Georgia crowd booed loudly. They were filming a movie scene for the new Hulu series "Chad Powers." Powell's character is named Chad Powers.

    Powers is a character, or alter-ego, created by Eli Manning for his ESPN+ docuseries, "Eli's Places." Their mascot was some sort of blue fish and the character was meant to represent the viral video of Manning going to Penn State's walk-on tryouts in 2022.

    They did it three times after the Redcoat Band performance and before the actual football teams playing a game returned to the field for warmup. Georgia leads Mississippi State 27-10 in Athens.
