ATHENS — Georgia football quarterback Gunner Stockton previewed the upcoming G-Day game during a media availability on Tuesday afternoon and provided the following comments.
On what defines a good G-Day to him...
"Probably being productive, but at the end of the day, I want my team to win no what side I'm on. Red or black, whatever I can attribute to that role of winning would probably make me happy."
On how spring practice has been...
"Yeah, it's been good. It started off really hot. I think the first, I think it was the first padded practice, I didn't throw an incompletion, so just going from there and trying to build. I mean, everybody has their bad days, and I've had them, but just keep trying to build and finish it the right way."
On why he would wait behind Carson Beck rather than transfer...
"Yeah, I mean, Carson is the perfect example. He's shown resilience, and, heck, he's waited his turn. I mean he's worked hard. He's proven that he's one of the best quarterbacks, and it's just a privilege to kind of take from him and just get to learn from him. It's pretty awesome. I mean, heck, at Georgia, you're going to win, so that's the biggest part. And, you can go to a lot of different places, but there's a lot of things that Georgia has that they can't offer, so that's probably the biggest part."
On the value of bowl practice and playing in the Orange Bowl...
"Yeah, it was awesome. Leading up to it I got a bunch of reps, and just like this spring I've gotten, heck, a couple ones reps, twos, and a bunch of threes, and just because, yeah, but I got a bunch of reps. And, I think it's valuable, like, I try to cherish it and just make the most of it."
On the opportunity G-Day this Saturday provides...
"I just want to show everybody that I can play. That's what I tried to do in the Orange Bowl, and I thought I did. And, take this opportunity just to go play a game, that's the way I look at it. Play with everybody."
