The Georgia Bulldogs’ Red Team (No. 1 offense) and Black Team (No. 1 defense) are battling it out in UGA’s annual spring game. Georgia’s spring game is not televised.
The Red Team had a strong first half to build a 13-3 lead. Red Team running back Nate Frazier scored the lone touchdown in the first half.
The Georgia defense appears to be a bit ahead of the Georgia offense at the moment. “There’s a running clock,” said Kirby Smart at halftime. “Less snaps” creates an advantage for the defense, which does not have to defend as many plays.
Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton had a solid first half, but committed a key turnover. Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens had a strong first half for Georgia. Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye keeps making plays for the Black Team.
Kirby Smart calls back touchdown
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart called back a touchdown after looking at the video board. Wide receiver Colbie Young hauled in a 20-yard catch in the end zone from Gunner Stockton.
“It looked like he was clearly out,” said Smart at halftime.
Gunner Stockton has solid first half
Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton played well for the Red Team. He completed 10 of 17 passes for 147 yards and one interception in the first half. Georgia defensive back Daniel Harris picked off Stockton in the end zone and Stockton was unable to connect with Colbie Young on one touchdown pass late in the first half, but he did find USC transfer wide receiver Zachariah Branch and tight end Lawson Luckie for big gains in the first half.
