Winner: Craig Dandridge

“Craig, that route he ran at the end, he did a great job,” Stockton said. “Heading up to safety and making him look a little silly. But he’s a really good route runner, and he works every day. And he does a good job with that, and he’s fun to be around.”
I don't usually listen to these interviews done by the sideline reporters, but I try not to miss it when it's Gunner Stockton's turn. Regardless of what the question is, he is always intentional about highlighting the accomplishments of one or more of his teammates. In an endearing North-Georgia accent, and without a whole lot of window-dressings or fancy words, he just emphasizes his appreciation for the talent and effort of those around him without a single word about his own. Most people around college football know him as a "great QB", the people within the UGA football program know him as a "great leader", and a whole lot of you dads out there are thinking "son in law"! LOL 🤣
GO DAWGS!
"But in the fourth quarter, he found Dandridge for a 61-yard touchdown. It was a good throw from Stockton but a better route and run from the freshman wide receiver."
It was an unexpected and pleasant surprise for me to see this play with such a big lead late in the game. Dandridge is really coming on strong as a valuable weapon in this offense, and answers a lot of those questions that everyone in the media was asking before the season started. This play (and more like it) needs to be in the back of every Safety's mind as he cheats up toward the LOS to help stop Frazier and Bowens!
Conner—good article and good points all around. "GoodOLDawg"- I really liked your comments about Gunner and your points that he always shows his appreciation for members of the team. I enjoy his always courteous and smiling sideline interviews.
Although there is always work to be done. This game showed even more so the Dawgs potential. Just keep practicing hard and playing hard. I Believe they will get better with each and every game played. Go Dawgs !!
It's amazing g how rampant the TE's were in week one and now for 2 weeks Bobo is hiding them.
I'll add this, too: if you watch that play, Stockton is on the 32 when he releases, and Dandridge is on the 25 when he catches the ball. That's 43 yards in the air. Does GS have a downfield pass? I'd say he does…
