3- TD passes from Gunner Stockton

 

 

 

 

Gunner Stockton had quite the game against Mississippi State, throwing three touchdown passes to three different targets – Oscar Delp, Noah Thomas and Zachariah Branch. Stockton looked comfortable and in command, spreading the ball around and keeping Mississippi State’s defense on their toes. Each score came at key points in the game, showcasing Stockton’s rhythm and coordination within the offense. His performance against the Maroon Bulldogs was another sign of his growth as a leader and playmaker this season.

8-Catches from Zachariah Branch

Zachariah Branch led all the receivers with eight catches for 68 yards and a touchdown, displaying his explosiveness that makes him dangerous in open space. Stockton trusted Branch early and often, finding him on quick-hitting routes that kept drives alive. Branch’s speed and sure hands made things tricky for Mississippi State’s defense, and his presence this season has added a new layer of versatility to Georgia’s offense heading into the stretch run.

 

 

 

 

10-Tackles from KJ Bolden

KJ Bolden led the way defensively with 10 tackles, once again proving that he’s one of the most exciting young defenders to watch on the field. The sophomore defensive back was all over the field, delivering key stops and showing great instincts in both run support and coverage. His ability to anticipate plays quickly and close with authority helped limit Mississippi State’s big-play potential. Bolden’s effort and energy proved to be high, helping Georgia’s defense stay dominant from start to finish.

181- Rushing Yards from Nate Frazier

It was a career game for Nate Frazier, who ran for 181 yards and a touchdown on the ground. His 59-yard scoring burst in the game put Georgia ahead 31-7. Frazier showed a blend of patience, power and breakaway speed that made it almost impossible for Mississippi State to contain him. His performance highlighted how deep Georgia’s backfield really is, and it gave the Bulldogs a physical edge that wore down Mississippi State’s defense as the game went on.

567- Total Yards of Offense

Georgia’s offense put together its most complete showing of the season, racking up 567 total yards – 264 passing and 303 rushing. The Bulldogs established dominance early, moved the ball consistently, and kept Mississippi State guessing all afternoon. It wasn’t just the yardage total that stood out, it was the efficiency and playmaking ability behind it. With both the passing game and ground attack firing at this level, Georgia reminded everyone why they’re one of the most dangerous teams this season.
