Georgia Football Edges Austin Peay 28-6 After Weather Delay

The Georgia Bulldogs overcame a sluggish start and a nearly two-hour weather delay to secure a 28-6 victory over Austin Peay, though the game exposed several offensive struggles. The matchup, which began an hour early due to looming thunderstorms and was paused at halftime for 1 hour and 46 minutes because of lightning, saw Georgia's offense sputter with missed opportunities, including a goal line stand by Austin Peay and critical fumbles. Quarterback Gunner Stockton completed 26 of 34 passes for 227 yards, while running back Nate Frazier contributed two touchdowns despite limited rushing yards. Defensively, Georgia performed well, allowing only 1.6 yards per carry and recording an interception by Ellis Robinson, as well as a key second-half goal line stand. The Bulldogs also suffered a setback with tight end Ethan Barbour sustaining an apparent broken leg late in the first half. Georgia, ranked No. 4 and favored heavily, now prepares for its first conference and road game of the season against No. 22 Tennessee next weekend, with Coach Kirby Smart acknowledging room for improvement after the shaky performance.
