QB of the Week: Gunner Stockton’s 5-TDs Fuel Georgia’s Comeback Win

In the win against Ole Miss, Stockton was 26-of-31 for 289 yards and five total touchdowns (one rushing).

Stockton was locked in all night. His composure and consistency allowed Georgia’s offense to find its rhythm and stay balanced against an aggressive Ole Miss defense. When the game tightened late, he turned it up—guiding Georgia to a 17–0 fourth quarter that sealed the deal.

What I Liked

Decision-Making

Stockton distributed the ball with purpose. He made smart reads, took what the defense gave him, and never forced plays. His ability to stay patient while keeping the tempo steady was impressive for a quarterback still settling into a full-time role.

Accuracy

When Stockton was on, he was surgical. Whether from the pocket or rolling out, he threw darts. His ball placement gave receivers the best possible chance to make plays, and his timing was consistently sharp. Georgia’s passing game just looked smoother with him in rhythm. The Bulldogs can be very dangerous with an offense to match the intensity of the defense.

Mobility

What makes Stockton dangerous isn’t just his arm—it’s the way he uses his legs when it matters most. He extended plays, moved the sticks on key downs and capped off his night with a rushing touchdown. His mobility kept Ole Miss honest and opened up the playbook. He doesn’t get enough credit for his running ability. This gives the Bulldogs another dimension.

Final Thoughts

This was the statement performance Georgia needed to see from Stockton. He looked composed, confident and in full control of the offense—traits that can carry the Bulldogs deep into SEC play. If he continues playing at this level, Stockton won’t just be a spark plug for the offense—he’ll be the steady heartbeat that helps Georgia make another championship push.

With a defense that’s built to suffocate opponents and a quarterback who’s finding his stride, the Bulldogs are once again looking like the team nobody wants to see in November.
