Everything Gunner Stockton Said After No. 1 Georgia Football's 48-21 Win over Missouri
ATHENS - Georgia football quarterback Gunner Stockton spoke with the media following Georgia’s dominant win over Missouri.
On if he’s playing his best football….
“We're playing pretty good. I feel like we're executing pretty well. Definitely need to get better in some areas, but there's always room to improve and to get better, and I thought today we went out and executed pretty well.
On if the Auburn loss made them better...
“I wouldn't say that. You don't want to lose, but I think we never want to feel that feeling again in this stadium. I thought everybody kind of came out and played how they could play.”
On Raylen Wilson’s game-starting INT...
“That was awesome. I didn't know it was his first pick, but just seeing him and the joy that everybody had for him was awesome, and definitely getting started at the five or maybe even closer. That was awesome.
On the running game without Drew Bobo...
“Definitely not having Drew out there was tough but Cortez, he did a great job just stepping up and leading.
With Drew he's one of our best leaders, so Cortez did a great job today. Missouri's a really good football team, and they do a great job stopping the run, so that was a good part.
On Kirby Smart’s frustration at the end of the first half...
When you have a coach like that it makes a national title contender right there. I just didn't really execute and had a bad throw. But that definitely has to be better.
On Talyn Taylor’s big catch...
“It was crazy. I thought it was one-handed just at first glance, but he ended up getting two on it. But, it was crazy. It was a good catch, and it was a good throw, too.
On Isaiah Canion and Chauncey Bowens finding the endzone...
“They're having fun out there. All the work that they've been putting in to get to where they're at is
On Nate Frazier’s play...
“His cuts that he makes and just, you can tell by the way he runs how he loves this football team. He's a great teammate.
On Craig Dandridge...
“He's a great player. You wouldn't think he was as young as he is. Just the maturity he has and the way he attacks practice and meetings, anything. He's a great player, so.
On where he wants to improve...
“My pocket movements. I feel like it could've been a little bit better today, and I feel like protections I could've got us in a little bit better spot. And just that two minutes before the half just being a little better.”
On Isaiah Canion...
“He's explosive. That first drive or the second one the 50/50 balls, they aren't really 50/50 with Isaiah. Just the way he attacks the ball and goes after it.”
On how he’s helped the offense improve...
“I think just buying into the process and attacking each week and not going through a lull in practice and just making the most out of each day.”
On the receiver room...
“I feel like the confidence of everybody's kind of grown a little bit, and it goes back to the way we attack practice and trying to attack each day. They're making plays, they're getting open, and finding a way to get it to them and let them be explosive.
