3 – Gunner Stockton passing touchdowns

 

 

 

 

The Bulldogs’ quarterback stepped up for the Bulldogs’ offense with three passing touchdowns en route to winning the SEC Championship MVP award. This was Stockton’s highest total since his four passing touchdowns against Texas on Nov. 15. 

4 – SEC titles in the Kirby Smart era

Georgia won a fourth SEC title under Kirby Smart and their second straight. The SEC runs through Georgia and Alabama, but the Bulldogs are kings of the conference for the foreseeable future after taking down their nemesis from Tuscaloosa. Smart’s team will get time off before playing the winner of Ole Miss and Tulane in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day. 

 

 

 

 

1 – win over Alabama in the SEC Championship

The win over Alabama marks Georgia’s first win against the Crimson Tide in the SEC championship. This is also the first time Alabama has lost in Atlanta since 2008. Though the Tide held onto a spot on the College Football Playoff, it seems like their days of owning the SEC are over. 

-3 – Alabama rushing yards

Alabama had -3 rushing yards against the Georgia defense, which is the second time in program history that they have been held to negative yards. Schumann and the Bulldogs kept the Tide from establishing the run, which put Ty Simpson under a lot of pressure in the passing game. 

2 – failed fourth down conversions by Alabama

Coach DeBoer’s Tide failed two of their three fourth-down conversion attempts, with the most notable miss coming with 8:17 left in the game when Simpson missed Germie Bernard for a first down. This stand by the Georgia defense set up Georgia’s final touchdown of the afternoon to seal the game. 

77,247 – fans in attendance for the 2025 SEC Championship

77,247 SEC football fans filled the seats of Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday afternoon to watch one of Georgia’s greatest performances in recent memory. College football’s top conference provided another classic showing under the national spotlight between two highly-touted playoff teams.
