‘Elite Clutch Playmaker,’ ‘Send Him to New York’ — CFB Fans, Analysts Tout Gunner Stockton After Georgia Beats Alabama 20-17 in Tuscaloosa

Gunner Stockton propelled the second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs to a 20-17 victory over sixth-ranked Alabama on Saturday night, securing the program's first win in Tuscaloosa since 2007. Stockton completed 18 of 22 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for a 14-yard score to help his squad improve to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the SEC.

Playing without key offensive contributors like Chauncey Bowens, Isiah Canion, and Thomas Blackshear, the Bulldogs relied on Dwight Phillips Jr. to churn out 120 yards on 17 carries.

Despite Alabama briefly taking a 14-10 halftime lead behind scores from Trae’shawn Brown, Keelon Russell, Marshall Pritchett, and EJ Crowell, Stockton engineered a second-half resurgence. Analyst Max Chadwick suggested the performance could send the quarterback to New York for the Heisman ceremony, though competition remains strong from Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith.
