No. 3 Georgia has QB Gunner Stockton back to lead pursuit of SEC and national championships

No. 3 Georgia is counting on quarterback Gunner Stockton to lead their pursuit of SEC and national championships. Stockton's return, along with experienced running back Nate Frazier, strengthens Georgia's chances. Head coach Kirby Smart, with two national championships and four SEC titles under his belt, is back for his 11th season with the Bulldogs. Georgia aims to continue their streak of five seasons with at least 11 wins.

Despite not receiving first-place votes in the AP Top 25 preseason poll, Georgia has made it to the top five for the eighth consecutive year. The Bulldogs are favored to win another SEC title this season, according to media day votes. The offensive line and tight end are key strengths for Georgia's offense, with Frazier expected to have a significant impact.

Defensively, Georgia relies on the skills of KJ Bolden, Ellis Robinson IV, and Raylen Wilson, with Wilson having the most interceptions on the team. However, Georgia struggled with sacks last season and needs production from players like Zayden Walker and Chase Linton. The offense faces challenges due to the loss of key receivers and the injury to RB Dante Dowdell. Despite these setbacks, Georgia is optimistic about their chances as they prepare to face Oklahoma, Alabama, and Mississippi in the upcoming weeks.
