Sugar Bowl Recap and Reaction

UGA seemed in control of the game for the larger part of the first half. While they had only managed a field goal, they were able to sustain drives, keep Notre Dame from scoring, and should have had more points if it weren’t for a fumble in the red zone and a sideline infraction penalty. WR Arian Smith even caught a deep pass. Things were going relatively well. And then the wheels came off.

Dawgs Land Branch Brothers

Okay, before we get to the good news, let’s get the bad news out of the way. WR Anthony Evans hit the portal, which is an expected move. He barely stayed this year, but still didn’t see much playing time or productivity. He is a talented slot receiver, but didn’t take care of the football. I’m sure he’ll go somewhere else and be fairly productive.

Stockton Season Begins for UGA

With QB Carson Beck sustaining a UCL injury on the final play of the first half of the SEC championship, backup QB Gunner Stockton was thrown into action. He was able to complete the comeback for the Dawgs, who went on to win in overtime. Now, as Beck has announced he is headed to the draft and has undergone surgery on his arm, this team belongs to Gunner.

UGA Escapes Georgia Tech in Eight Overtimes

Down 17-0 at halftime and then 27-13 with 5 and a half minutes to go in the 4th, UGA found a way to tie the game and duke it out with the Yellow Jackets across 8 overtimes before ultimately outlasting them. It was what has been the standard slow start from the Bulldogs, who were held scoreless at half for the first time since 2019.
