Ole Miss Rebels kicker Lucas Carneiro made the two longest field goals in Sugar Bowl history during Thursday's matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff.

The first one came from 55 yards out, which would become the longest of Carneiro's career - until he broke his own record in the same quarter. 

His second one came on the Rebels' next drive after forcing a Georgia punt. 

This time, Carneiro drilled one from 56 yards out to break his previous record, which stood for no more than five minutes. 

Carneiro transferred from Western Kentucky ahead of this season and has been a vital part of Ole Miss. After his historic field goal, Carneiro is now 26-28 on the season, 3-4 from 50+ yards out, and a perfect 53-53 with extra points. 

Should Ole Miss defeat Georgia, they'll move on to the semifinals, where Miami awaits them after they took down Ohio State earlier in the day (highlights here).
