team and they want the opening kickoff. No chance from Payton Woodring, first time head coach with 74 new players on his roster, including a freshman quarterback, Jakai Long, who hands it off to Antoine Roberts. So many guys in the portal and a new team in Huntington. Here’s Roberts again off the left side with nowhere to go. On third down across the middle into coverage incomplete. He will get it away to the USC transfer Zachariah Branch. Former top 10 recruit calls for the fair catch right at the 30. Stable of running backs behind him. And it’s Frasier to start with a spin for a back. Frasier again off the left side searches for a lane. going to take some pet the dogs. Cash Jones, the fifthear senior, third down back, reprising his role. You got Zachariah Branch in the slot to the right, stucked into the air and there is Branch who is shifty and the UFC transfer is into plus territory 300. There’s a little pop pass on the move. It’s Dylan Bell who cuts it up field back to the line. defense this year for Marshall. Stockton with time now. He steps away from Canon Lewis and Stockton can do this. He gets from Andrew Makuba. Third down and three. Cash Jones up the middle and he’s swung down. Kent Gunnar Stockton. It’s an option. Stockton the cuts and he moves the sticks into the red zone. 12 personnel here and this is Dwight Phillips Jr. with the first touchdown dogs. Mike, you talked about statements. They get into two tight end sets and you get a kick out by Del. You get lucky after and what you say about running the ball this seven zip Georgia to start and Marshall will get it at 25. Marshall West Virginia. Jakai Long on a screen connects with Floyd Lacy in West Virginia son of a former Marshall wide receiver. Was a tough snap to handle and then Long gets blown up for down and three. long with time and he rifles incomplete for Floyd Lacy. And so Zachariah Branch will get it from Nathan Totten again. Another fair catch signal just here at Sanford Stadium. Nick Frasier off the right side. He gets dragged down at the 30. Showing a little bit of tempo this series. Frasier again and he pushes forward on the right side of the formation in this 12 personnel. Stockton rolls. He checks it down to Chanty Bowens. Another running back they’re excited about. Stockton for Oscar Del cut down near the 50. He’s got a first down review. the rolling on the field is not doesn’t feel that when he hits the ground he still has control of the ball and then it pops loose. I would lead the first down from midfield. Frasier again turns it up field turns the legs and [Music] Stockton under pressure downfield incomplete. Third down for Georgia. Stockton across the middle. Zachariah Branch. First down and more. Just outside the 20 line for Georgia this year. Stockton escapes and Stockton got around the corner. Tripped up. It’s a give to Frasier. He goes hopping forward. Cloore. Freshman tight end is the lead blocker for Frasier up the middle. Stacked up tried pushing the legs coming back for the dogs. Stockton pulls it and he’s got a first down and more. Touchdown Gunner Stockton. [Applause] So 270 plus yd touchdown. Everyone converges but nobody converged on the quarterback who ran in for a touchdown. Same as this team this year. Not everybody knew a whole lot about your team or what you could do. This team is talking about the and once they got the ball in the air, they making them get the ball out quick, getting their hands on balls, batted balls, things like that makes it really affects the game. But stopping the run, I’m really impressed how they’re stopping. just want to be able to give back to my community and uh that’s what I’m doing. Sounds great. Thanks for taking time, Trayvon. No, thank you so much for having me, Darel. And finally, they moved the sticks again. It’s Joe Barbie and he gets stacked up right at the line of scrimmage. Yeah, we got to tackle better and then obviously we we had field position, but now they got to punt it to Zachariah Branch. Nathan Tottton’s third punt already. and Branch 83 rushing yards and 13 of the 19 plays have been runs. Stockton floats one to a wide open Oscar Delt near M. Six of seven for 87 yds. Chanty Bowens off the left side. Heard a lot from Carson Beck over the last couple seasons and now it’s Gutter’s time to show what he can do. Stockton on the roll and he fires and it’s incomplete in 2025. Third down. Stockton with time and he zips one past the 50 caught by Luck. Snap it and that will run it down by the Dogs for a delay of game. Yeah, crossing the way. He snaps on the offense. 5 yd penalty. Still fourth down game against Texas. He has been punting just not yet cleared to tackle. So Miller sends one to the five and into the stay as the OC. Marshall back with it trying to get in gear offensively and Jakai Long fires incomplete for the really what pushed him to the top. Floyd Lacy on the jet sweep turns it up field. Jai Long indeed QB1. Third down with pressure coming. He navigates the pocket, but he swung down from behind in these first 20 minutes for the Thundering Hard and it’s blocked. Georgia blocks the kick outside and if nobody blocks you, you go make the play. He got there. Nobody blocks me, I’m going to go block the punt. That’s how you do it right there, KJ Bolton. You can be an all-American safety, but can you go out and go make a block on special teams? That’s a nice job there getting a hand in there. Terrell Foster went up to grab it and George has got it at the 20 on the ground with Dwight Phillips and he carries it. Stockton follows Phillips and Stockton is tripped up for Oscar Delp and seven. Lawson Lucky on the right side of the formation. Stockton pulls it again. Stockton into the end zone for the second time on the ground. [Applause] We talk about the tight ends and the pass receiving tight end, but look at the block. They both set up. You can walk right into the end zone like Gunner Stockton did on that last one. Payton Woodring for the point after. Well, stars can play special. 81 yds. [Applause] Georgia up big and Zavon Turner Bradshaw, the son of Ahmad Bradshaw, former Marshall great, gets a chance to run this one back entering fall camp. He was viewed as the presumptive starter. hands it off to Joan Barbie who gets shot down by take it day by day snap by snap on the ground again but barely back to the dog short pressure and Del Rio Wilson takes off this is what he can do with his legs illegal formation on the offense number 74 was not on the line of scrimmage 5yd from the previous spot for the replay of third 15 for a Marshall offense that has not been able to move the football. Easy screen and that’s incomplete. [Applause] Totten gets it away this time. A low spiraling kick that bounces past Zachariah Branch. Scoops it just outside the 25. And Branch gets back some of that yardage. A late flag comes in near midfield during the return. holding on the receiving team number 33. We got some quarterbacking today, baby. I love it. Georgia back with it and it’s a flip for Dylan Bell and he gets dropped for a big loss. Was pinged up on the plate. He headed off for Marshall. London Humphre on the screen. Gets it back. Three for six so far on third downs and Stockton with plenty of time across the middle. tipped in the air and nearly intercepted in this first half as Drew Miller back on the field gets a booming punt away. Handled at the 20 and Boogie Troder rather all six Marshall drives have started inside the 25. Justin Williams Thomas gets a flip cal transfer gets stacked up after a cup of how they finish this half. See if they can get some points. Del Rio Wilson pulled it and he gets chopped out at the end. Now they just got to bring the practice to the field on third down. Del Rio Wilson fires toward the sideline. There’s a flag down as right illegal formation on the offense. Number 76 was not lined up on the line of scrimmage. That penalty has been declined. It’s fourth down. Six drives, 53 and outs for Marshall. And a poor kick from Taton. spins and bounces just outside the 30 where it’s down. Nate Frasier follows Ethan Barbour and gets to the second level in priest. Of course, Trevor ETM now gone. Johny Bowens now cannot escape. Boogie Trotter. Frasier back in there and runs into a sea of Kelly Green. Has performed better here in this second quarter than the first. Pressure comes. Stockton stands in and a wobbler. Sort Miller gets this one away toward Floyd Lacy and that will bound down toward the 15. Keep EJ Emanuel less excited. It’s going to be fun. Plus Arch sadness today. We’ll have highlights of that coming up. Season only game number one. And here in Athens, Carlos Del Rio Wilson still in and he tucked it with nowhere to go. confident they they are in Gunner Stockton. Now on third down, Del Rio Wilson stays on his feet slips a tackler and has it close to the sticks. Looks like he’s just short. I have to review the ruling on the field is upheld. It is fourth down to West Virginia got his attention. Zachariah Branch backpedals to the 20 and the USC transfer cuts it up field and picks up about Stockton checks it down for Cash Jones, the fifth year senior. And that’s what he does. He gets popped Stockton’s disposal. Quick one toward the sideline. Caught there by Colobby Young. Stockton fires for Lawson. Lucky and that moves the sticks. Stockton with all day. Lost one for Lucky who drew a flag. Caleb Clark glove pass being thrown holding on the defense number 26. That 10-yd penalty will be enforced from the previous spot and it carries an automatic first down the 35 rush down the sideline and incomplete and wide receivers. Thomas from Texas A&M Stockton steps up. He’s got green grass and Stockton running. 38 seconds to work with for the Bulldogs. branch and broken up across Georgia. Just a three-man rush. Jones out of the back field. Dropped the football. Picked up by Marshall. Jabriel Alamine forced it out and Taan Jeter runs it back. An incomplete pass. It will be third down from the Stockton on third down. He loads it up, found it ball and nearly intercepted. You see Payton Woodring’s success last year, preseason second team allame from 43 yds and it is good. A positive drive to get maybe a two for one situation. Zavon Turner Bradshaw takes it out of the end zone and with a cut he gets dropped. Shot with all those new faces for Tony G. How they dominate the line of scrimmage especially in their rushing attack. Marshall gets it away for a touchback. TFLs for the Georgia defense on offense to start. This is Dwight Phillips Jr. with a chuck play and the football was punched out by Cam Smith. So Phillips comes out after the fumble and a play fake for Chanty Bowens. Stockton will tuck it directing Barbour and he got hit or I’m going to watch. That’s what we got out of Kirby so far. I did see some frustration from Gunnar Stockton though on the sideline after two of those drives in the first half. What a team can be this season. Dwight Phillips comes back in. Stockton fakes the swing and now does go to Zachariah Branch. Turns the corner. Branch out to the races. Gone for six from 47 yds out. Welcome to Athens. [Applause] [Music] But watch the pursuit angles of everybody. You can’t catch him. He’s just a speed guy. Look at all the white shirts try to go grab him. That’s just track speed. This is what this offense was been missing. They’ve been missing a player like Zack Mike. That’s that world class speed of Zachariah Branch. [Applause] Couple of big plays on the drive. The 18 yd rush from 31 nothing on Marshall. Payton Woodring sent last year at USC. Marshall goes back to the red shirt freshman Jakai Long at quarterback and he slips one out for Joan Barbie with wiggle to the edge and he at quarterback 7 and0 but he went with Charles Huff to Southern Miss flag down this will run off the right side for Antoine Roberts back there leading formation on the offense number 74 was not on the line of scrimmage that’s a 5yd penalty with a replay of first two bases it has been at times offensively Long flushed from the pocket and Long will just get rid of it. SAT and ACC test on the ground here. Roberts off the left side and he gets this Georgia defense now here on third down. Six TFLs and now third and long. Long floats it and not on the same page with his wife on the line of scrimmage. Of course, the three and out. Zachariah Branch takes it inside the 30 and nursery in Augusta. The other half were taken to a nursery in Florida, planted in the ground and then they were brought back after the Olympics and we transplanted back into the stadium in this field to touch the hedges. Mark that. Check that off the list. Nick Frasier on the ground barrels past the 30 it just means more. But uh good stuff. Third down here for Gunnar Stockton and he checks it down. Lawson Lucky right near the sticks. Going to be close and from Lawson Lucky. Let’s hear after review. It is an incomplete pass. It’ll be fourth down from the 35 yd line. Championship game last season. Good punt again from the red shirt freshman. Lacy signals for the fair catch. A step in. New faces all over the place. Jakai Long still in there and the red shirt freshman slings a wobbler that is dropped along the sideline. Cleared to be able to play. Here’s a give up the middle to Justin Williams Thomas. Pressure off the edge. It’s on the ground and Nathan Totten had the play clock winding down on the offense. 5 yd penalty. It’s still fourth down. I know it’s ready to get it from T. High kick. Lot of hang time and it bounces just inside the 45 and that’s where it field goal. Some may say it was just a field goal. I thought it was great to see him just man the offense and show that he’s the guy for the job. Hats it off to Dwight Phillips. A good run into Plus. Couple of rushing touchdowns from Stockton in this game. Fires toward the sideline here and he’s got it complete to Kobe Young who breaks the tackle and barrels inside that he was dealing with this week. But good for 25 there. Stockton turns the corner, ties it and he slides down at on second out and six. Phillips off the left side, slips a tackle and away for these running backs. Johny Bowens tripped up. Nate Frasier checks back in and Frasier gets it on second down and he pushes the puck. rushing struggles last year. Stockton on the option. He gets wrapped up immediately. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] It’s just a walk in the park. Look at the protection. We talk about Don just told us they got back backup offensive lineman. Well, look at the pocket. He’s got a chance. He has thrown for a couple of touchdowns in addition to those two we showed you on the ground and it continues to be legs today. He’s a true Georgia quarterback. Jakai Long hands it off and Justin Williams Thomas is all around the country getting unveiled this weekend. Another run and it’s Justin Williams Thomas pushing Mr. Mike Monaco. We’ll see what TJ Carr can do as he takes over for Riley Leonard in the Notre Dame fighters. Long under pressure tried to incompletion as he was getting dragged down and now pressure comes on third down. Long just gets rid of it to the sideline. Fair catch signal from Sobe White held to country. You saw and Gunner Stockton’s day is done. Chanty Bowens gets to the second level and he rumbles past the four out to the outside for the first down. Pissy checks it down. And this is Bowens. Now the hard work that he’s put in, it’s been noticed by his teammates. Now Bo Walker on his first collegiate touch. The true freshman. 200 yds rushing for Georgia. Now Pissi had that. Going to continue to keep working at it. I’ I’ve said it before. We know what Zack Zachariah Branch can do, but the other wide receivers, can they come takes it off and Plesi here with head coach Kirby Smart? Coach Gunnar Stockton’s day is over. What did you like best about his performance? his legs, his composure, uh his willingness to make plays with his legs and he made some good reads and helped us out. Other side of the ball defensively dominating. What’s been the best part of their performance? Tackling, doing it by committee. A lot of guys playing hard, getting off the field on third downs. Thank you, coach. Thank you, Don. Thank you. Yeah. So, the legs really do stand out from Gunnar Stockton, whose day is indeed over. Ryan Paglesi rifles down the seam and he’s Ryan Paglesi. I feel like he’s got a bright future. Back to the air. Pissy down the sideline. Touchdown from 23 yds out. Elias Williams, the freshman tight end. Was talking about these tight ends. And now they get all the way down to tight end number four, Elias Williams. All he just runs is an out and up and nobody can just hang along with them. It’s a well balanced offense by the Dogs. Top 100 recruit Elias Williams of the day for Georgia. Yeah, just an out and up as a defender. When your receiver goes to the out, you got to you got to that’s your guy. So when you take your eyes off of him, what happens? Williams turns it up the field. His hands and imprints on everything. And now in year 10, he’s kind of backed off a little bit and just watched the development of a lot of these players as they come through the program. Connor Ferguson’s kick is taken out. His career at Yukon where he actually started as a freshman. Spits it out wide to DeAndre Tamarz, the Western Carolina transfer. A long time Rich Rodriguez offensive mind. Turner quick hitter. He’s got Zavon Turner branch on. Well, one thing I can say is that here at Georgia, it’s all about national championships. Turner downfield and he’s got it complete to Antonio Harmon. Hadn’t had a play over 15 yardds before that. Turner fires toward the sideline and batted down. Dominic Kelly, the freshman from St. Petersburg, Florida, broke it up. That puts a smile on Kirby Smart’s face. Kelly will be forced from the previous spot with a replay of first down. that championship fire that they had just a couple seasons ago. Turner tucks it, gets back a lot of the penalty yardage into where this team finds its way at the end of the season. Joan Barbie up the middle stacked up after after all the Nicoyaba drama. Third down. Turner takes a shot downfield. Savon Turner Bradshaw goes spinning inside the five. Oh, making a play. Joan Barbie off the right side is in for a touchdown. Now there is a flag down right near the line of on the Marshall. There is no foul on the play. The resulting play is a touchdown. Joan and this is Lurin Quinn who comes on 24y old freshman from Ireland who today are watching a score down in Tallahassee not too far away as the uh Crimson Tide in Florida. That walk from Clubnick is how EJ Emanuel walked into the studio swag earlier today. Chy Bowens hops out of bounds run for two more part of 73 on the ground. Ryan Puglesi’s operating the offense and the spoiler in this year’s SEC race on third down. Paglesi sinks and dart for a spot last season. I think you put more emphasis on that backup quarterback spot. Bo Walker on the ground to the got to take it from the practice field over to the game. Another hand off to Bo Walker. He gets stacked up after Yuck. Walker couldn’t haul it in. They deem it a forward and in third downs for Georgia. Floyd Lacy back deep. Drew Miller gets it away and Lacy grabs it from the 13 and he spins out past the 25. But there is a penalty flag down during the kick. Personal foul face mask on the receiving team. That penalty will be enforced half the distance to the goal from the end of the kick. I don’t know how many times I couldn’t leave the house or couldn’t leave for a game until I saw the head gear. And it’s just part of college football tradition. And man, what a way to send retirement, but he’s so much did what he’s done so much for the game of college football. Antoine Roberts cuts it up field and he gets pounded down at the 15 here at Georgia. Third round coverage of the US Open continues on ESPN 2. Zion Turner takes off and with his legs he offense has moved pretty smoothly with him at the helm. Turner across the middle and he’s got it complete. Guys want to see it done in the game and right now Z Turner doing a great job of moving the offense. Antoine Roberts gets another carry. Quarterback controversy or anything, but you may be in a little bit of a battle come next week for who may start. This is Ben Tur patient enough to let him build this the right way. We need stability and we have a coach who really wants to be here back up. But they’ve got a nice group of guys who are just learning each other for the first time. They want to get themselves set themselves up for conference play. Also at the end that Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket team, that’s going to be tough. Another neutral sight game for the Dogs down in Atlanta to end the season. Points on the tide right now. Costalano’s doing a good job playing quarterback, but they’ve got the tide coming here. DC. It’s McCrae and he lowers the shoulder for a first down. Takes it back. Get out there and we ask Gunner, what do you think of Zachariah? You know, when did you know you had something? He said the first time we went out to practice. Oh man, quarterbacks, baby. Clubnick, Nusmeer, two guys who maybe we’re talking about next year in NFL draft 2026. Ryan Puglesi goes spinning unafraid of contact. Third down here for Georgia. Quick hitter is broken up in Tang Manning and the Texas Longhorns. I appreciate you listening to me. Thanks, man. Always do my three hours ago. Some news for Sam Horn you saw in there by the way. I think Kirby Smart would say the same thing. He’s got a passing grade for today though. I love the way that he used his legs just Zion Turner with a pinch. as Judah Price who you know there there are some ways for them to go but you you’re excited for the way that they came out to compete today. They were just outmanned. Well, that’ll do it here in Athens. Kirby Smart begins year 10 here between the hedges with a convincing
