ATHENS - Georgia Bulldog tight end Lawson Luckie had a lot to say about quarterback Gunner Stockton after Georgia’s tough 27-24 loss to the Auburn Tigers.

On the outcome of the game...
“I can’t take anything away from them (Auburn). We wanted to win the line of scrimmage, and I can’t say we did that in hindsight. I’m proud of the way we fought. That has been our MO for the past couple of years now. This
one didn’t go our way.”


On growth in the bye-week...
“We’re different, and it’s really going to show this week. We have two choices to make, and it’s a different state of college football now, and we know that. We have to come ready to fight and ready to get better. The team that wins it all in the end is the one that’s progressively rising. The one that never gets comfortable. This might be something where we look back in a couple of weeks, and this was the best thing possible for us.”


On what he said to Gunner Stockton...
“Whatever you do, we are with you do or die. The worst thing you can do is become gun-shy. We wanted him to know that even after the first one (turnover) just do you. We trust you more than anyone, that dude is going to
lead us out to war no matter what.”
