10/04/25 - QB Gunner Stockton, rJr/2027, Georgia, (DS#9 QB)

Gunner Stockton and the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs wasted no time showing they had moved on from a tough loss to Alabama. Stockton and Dillon Bell each had a pair of touchdown runs, leading the Bulldogs to a 35-14 victory over Kentucky on Saturday. Georgia (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) finally got off to a quick start, capping its first two possessions with scoring runs from quarterback Stockton. There were no signs of anyone still pouting about what happened a week ago, when Alabama won 24-21 to snap Georgia's 33-game home winning streak. "I wasn't shocked at all by the response of the team," coach Kirby Smart said. "If we continue to get better, we'll be where we need to be." Stockton had 48 yards on six carries. He completed 15 of 23 passes for 196 yards, including a 16-yard scoring play to Cash Jones.

Bell, a receiver who also has played running back, tacked on a pair of 3-yard TD runs with an end around and a reverse. He set up the scoring pass to Jones with a 33-yard catch. Cutter Boley had 225 yards passing with a couple of touchdowns for Kentucky (2-3, 0-3), but it wasn't nearly enough to prevent Georgia from winning its 16th straight game in the series. The Bulldogs haven't lost to Kentucky since 2009. "I'm excited about our guys getting off to a fast start. That was the goal. That's always the goal," Smart said. "We still have a long way to improve to get where we need to go. But we are physical and we are resilient. That's gonna keep you competitive." Georgia took the opening kickoff and went 75 yards in 12 plays, capped by Stockton diving at the pylon for a 7-yard scoring run. The Bulldogs went nearly the length of the field on their next possession - 96 yards over 13 plays - and Stockton finished it off again. He trotted in for a 6-yard TD after a nifty fake on linebacker Sam Greene. Georgia had trailed at halftime in its two previous games. No such issues in this one. - Georgia/AP College Football
