The Georgia Bulldogs want to generate more explosive plays in 2026. If Georgia's offense under offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is going to hit another gear, then senior quarterback Gunner Stockton is going to need to step up.
Stockton lost a lot of his valuable pass catchers from last season and needs to connect with his talented tight ends more often this season. Stockton may have to take more risks in order for Georgia to hit on more big plays.
"I think it's experience," Bobo said when asked about Stockton taking shots down the field. "I think it's having confidence in what you see.
"Throwing on time tells you a lot as a quarterback, but you can't be so risk-averse that you are afraid to push the ball down the field. Now, number one, a really good thing about Gunner (Stockton) is that he didn't turn the football over a lot, which is huge."
Stockton is coming off a strong 2025 season. He finished seventh in the Heisman voting and delivered 2,894 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions. His QBR of 84.9 ranked sixth in college football. Stockton was effective in the red zone and his legs (462 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns) provided a major boost for the UGA offense.
