Tennessee State Tigers at Georgia Bulldogs
· NCAA - Football
Stockton has 3 TD passes and Frazier runs for 3 scores as No. 3 Georgia beats Tennessee State 63-3
The temperature was 101 degrees at kickoff and the heat likely was a factor in some fans leaving Sanford Stadium at the end of the first quarter when the Bulldogs already led 28-0.
Georgia (1-0) scored touchdowns on its first five possessions, all with Stockton at quarterback. Frazier scored on a 48-yard run on his first carry and added a 14-yard touchdown run on his second carry.
Stockton completed 15 of 16 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns.
Georgia backup quarterback Ryan Puglisi led two touchdown drives, the first capped by Frazier's 3-yard scoring run, to open the second half. Frazier ran for 72 yards on only four carries.
The Bulldogs' third quarterback, Ryan Montgomery, threw a 54-yard scoring pass to Jeremy Bell. A fourth quarterback, Hezekiah Millender, led a touchdown drive capped by Jae Lamar's 11-yard run.
A severe weather advisory was posted on the scoreboard late in the third quarter, warning fans that lightning was detected within 15 miles of the stadium. There was no delay but few fans remained for the end of the game.
Georgia: The Bulldogs showed off their depth and talent at tight end. Jaden Reddell, Elyiss Williams and freshman Kaiden Prothro had touchdown catches. The 6-foot-7 Williams showed his athleticism by diving over a tackler on his 17-yard scoring catch. Reddell had a 14-yard touchdown catch and added a powerful 29-yard run. Puglisi threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Prothro.
Georgia will debut its all-white alternate uniform when it plays at home against Western Kentucky next Saturday.
