Georgia 63, Tennessee State 3, and It Was 28-0 After One
Georgia scored four touchdowns in the first quarter, and the rest of the afternoon was a formality. The Bulldogs beat Tennessee State 63-3.
Nate Frazier ran 48 yards for a score at 13:36 and 14 yards at 10:08. Gunner Stockton then threw touchdowns of 17 yards to Elyiss Williams and 11 yards to Talyn Taylor, so it was 28-0 with 2:08 left in the first. Stockton added a 14-yard touchdown to Jaden Reddell in the second quarter, and Tennessee State got a 37-yard Preston Hurless field goal with 2:08 left in the half to make it 35-3. That was the extent of the Tigers' scoring.
The second half belonged to Frazier and the backups. Frazier scored from three yards in the third quarter, Ryan Puglisi threw a 16-yard touchdown to Kaiden Prothro, Ryan Montgomery hit Jeremy Bell for 54 yards, and Jae Lamar scored from 11 yards with 8:57 left in the fourth. Georgia finished with 661 total yards (388 passing, 273 rushing on only 26 carries), no interceptions, no fumbles lost and three sacks.
Georgia starts 1-0 and Tennessee State 0-1. Three different quarterbacks threw touchdown passes (Stockton, Puglisi and Montgomery), which tells you how the margin got to 60. Tennessee State's 37-yard field goal was the only thing between Georgia and a shutout, and it came with 2:08 left in the first half.
Stockton was 15 of 16 for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and he finished with 26.1 Promethium points. Frazier had four carries for 72 yards and three touchdowns, good for 25.2. Four carries. Three scores. Not a bad day to own him.
