Georgia football piles on points in 63-3 win over Tennessee State
Georgia football dominated Tennessee State 63-3 in their season opener as Gunner Stockton threw three touchdowns.
The Georgia Bulldogs commenced their 2026 football season with a commanding 63-3 victory over the Tennessee State Tigers. Georgia's offensive onslaught was relentless, scoring on five consecutive offensive drives to establish a 35-0 halftime lead. The sweltering weather and the lack of competitiveness resulted in many fans departing the stadium early.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton put in a near-flawless performance. The senior quarterback completed 15 out of 16 passes for 202 yards and added three touchdowns through the air. Running back Nate Frazier demonstrated his prowess on the ground, breaking tackles and scoring on three of his four carries. Freshman running back Jae Lamar also contributed with a late touchdown.
Tight ends Jaden Reddell and Elyiss Williams proved to be formidable forces in the passing game, each scoring a touchdown and showcasing their prowess alongside All-SEC tight end Lawson Luckie. The Bulldogs demonstrated their offensive versatility by involving more than 10 different players in the running game and over a dozen in receiving.
Georgia's defensive unit was equally impressive, forcing stop after stop and barely allowing Tennessee State to gain any first downs. Tennessee State managed a negative rushing total until late in the game. Georgia's depth was on full display, both on offense and defense. The matchup against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers is set for Week 2 on September 12 at 12:45 p.m. ET.
