Although the Georgia Bulldogs enter this season as the defending SEC Champion and are predicted to finish second in the league behind the Texas Longhorns, but former Bulldog David Pollack sent out a warning to new Georgia starting QB Gunner Stockton.
On his podcast See Ball Get Ball, Pollack says it might be a rough season for the new Bulldogs QB.
"Gunner Stockton cannot lead this team back to where they were a year ago if it's the same team," said Pollack. "If they can't run the football, it's not going to happen. Like they've brought in a bunch of receivers. That's (2024) the worst rushing season Georgia's had in 20 years."
Last year, the Bulldogs were near the bottom of the SEC in rushing, averaging just over 124 yards per game.
"If Gunner Stockton is a guy that can play action pass and use that part of his game and they do what Georgia has done with Stetson Bennett and Carson Beck and all these guys, he absolutely can be successful. If you're going to drop back and throw the ball 30, 40 times a game and not have a run game, I don't think he they're going to be back where they were (SEC champions and College Football Playoff appearance)," said Pollack.
Georgia teams in the past have been known to have great defenses and a solid running game. The few times Stockton played last season, especially during the College Football Playoff, he looked solid, but now he plays a whole SEC schedule this season, and it won’t be easy.
"I think Gunner's a really good player," he said. "I think he's got a really, really good arm.” But he added, "I'm 100% sure if you're not going to give him a running game, it's going to be a tough season for the Georgia offense."
