Gunner Stockton ties school record with 5 TD passes as No. 2 Georgia crushes Western Kentucky 70-20
Athens, Ga. (AP) — Gunner Stockton connected with five different receivers for touchdown passes, setting a Georgia school record, as the No. 2 Bulldogs demolished Western Kentucky 70-20 on Saturday. The Bulldogs entered the game wearing their all-white alternate uniforms for the first time ever. Stockton completed 13 of 16 passes for 234 yards, leading Georgia to a 49-0 lead at the half, the most productive half in school history.
Tyriq Green's 91-yard kickoff return and a fumble recovery in the end zone added to the Bulldogs' dominance. Stockton's five touchdown passes matched the school record previously set by Carson Beck and others. Nate Frazier rushed for a touchdown and Landon Roldan added 9 yards on a scoring run. Western Kentucky struggled, with backup quarterback Brock Glenn throwing two interceptions and 13 rushing yards.
The Bulldogs' depth was evident, with 12 players contributing on both passing and rushing plays. Georgia will face Arkansas in their SEC opener on Saturday.
