Georgia’s Kirby Smart Makes Statement on QB Gunner Stockton After Auburn Loss

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart reaffirmed his confidence in quarterback Gunner Stockton following Saturday’s 27-24 upset loss to Auburn at Sanford Stadium. Despite a late-game fumble that led to Auburn’s game-winning field goal, Smart emphasized Stockton’s overall performance, calling him the quarterback he’d trust most with the ball.

The Bulldogs had led 14-0 before Auburn’s late rally, but the turnover in a critical fourth-quarter drive proved decisive. Stockton acknowledged the mistake, attributing it to a helmet hit and vowing to improve his ball security moving forward.

Auburn’s defensive effort earned praise from Stockton, who credited the Tigers for their resilience in overcoming Georgia’s early lead. The loss marked a rare setback for the No.

1-ranked Bulldogs, who had entered the game on a winning streak against Alabama.
