Alabama Football vs Georgia 2026 Preview: Q&A with Dawg Sports

The Alabama-Georgia rivalry has evolved into an annual showdown, with the two SEC powerhouses meeting eight times since 2020. For Georgia, quarterback Gunner Stockton enters his third season as the starter, though his first full campaign came in the 2025 Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame.

This year, Stockton has refined his game, improving his pocket presence and decision-making while reducing risky throws. His efficiency has surged, with a 75.5% completion rate, 13 touchdowns, and just one interception, all while maintaining a conservative approach to passing.

On the ground, Stockton has become a dual-threat, averaging 6.1 yards per rush, though his success often stems from extended runs rather than short bursts. Meanwhile, running back Nate Frazier has shown flashes of stardom but has been held back by injuries and limited carries.

Despite missing two games as a freshman and dealing with nagging issues in recent seasons, Frazier has been dominant when healthy, averaging 8.12 yards per carry and scoring five touchdowns on just 26 attempts this year. However, Georgia’s coaching staff has preferred to distribute rushing workloads among multiple backs, keeping Frazier from accumulating gaudy stats despite his elite production when on the field.
