He does have the least amount of yards and the 2nd lowest completion percentage. But he also has a head coach who doesn’t run up the score on the cupcake opponents.

ATHENS, Ga. — In an offense-heavy matchup of top-10 teams Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium, it was ninth-ranked Georgia’s defense that came through in the fourth quarter against No. 5 Ole Miss. The Rebels scored touchdowns on their first five possessions in the game, but the Bulldogs shut them down late and pulled out a 43-35 win.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton’s fourth touchdown pass of the game, and third to tight end Lawson Luckie, a 7-yarder with 7:29 remaining, gave Georgia (6-1, 4-1 SEC) the lead for good. It came after the Bulldog defense got its first stop of the game, a three-and-out. Georgia later added a 42-yard Peyton Woodring field goal with 2:06 to play, and then stopped the Rebels (6-1, 3-1) for the third straight drive to seal the win.
Georgia came into Saturday’s game 7-0 in home games against top-10 teams under coach Kirby Smart, and that unblemished record looked very vulnerable for long stretches as the Rebels kept finding the end zone. But the Bulldog defense eventually got the stops they needed, while the offense had a huge day. Georgia out-gained the Rebels 510-351 and had a 15-minute advantage in time of possession: 37:39-22:21. Stockton finished 26 of 31 for 289 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, while the Bulldogs also rushed for 221 yards on 49 attempts.
Georgia finished with 43 points, gaining 510 yards of offense on 80 plays.
Redshirt junior QB Gunner Stockton finished 26-of-31 for 289 yards and a career-high 4 TDs plus 59 yards rushing and one TD. In the 2nd half, he was 12-for-12 for 135 yards and 3 TDs!
