Georgia Preserves SEC Hopes, Beats No. 5 Ole Miss

Georgia rallied to beat previously unbeaten No. 5 Ole Miss 43-35 at Sanford Stadium, improving to 6-1 (4-1) and preserving its SEC title hopes. Redshirt junior Gunner Stockton completed 26-of-31 for 289 yards and four passing touchdowns, added 59 rushing yards including a 22-yard rushing TD, and was perfect in the second half (12-for-12), making a key play fixing a low snap on the decisive field-goal sequence. Mike Bobo’s offense never punted and consistently sustained drives, and Josh McCray’s second-effort fourth-down conversion late in the third quarter helped extend the comeback. Georgia’s defense surrendered touchdowns on five straight Ole Miss drives and failed to record a first-half stop for the first time in Kirby Smart’s tenure but made consecutive late stops to seal the win. The Bulldogs overcame the loss of receiver Colbie Young, who sustained a fractured leg, and Smart praised the team’s resilience.
