Hats off to Russell that dude is going to a national champion ..

We got very lucky with the no call and shouldn’t have allowed bama to press down the field like that..

Phillips Jr. is my GDD of the year

Gunner was making unbelievable throws all game, idk why he’s not hyped more

Everyone is talking refs but Gunner was the difference in this game IMO.

Experience really shined through today and lack thereof for Russel in the first half.

Can’t have your QB icy against a team like Georgia and expect a win.

It really was. Keelon took too many bad sacks. UGAs OLine was also insane, felt like we never got to the backfield

Wasn't that like his 6th ever start, though?

Dude has been phenomenal, how do they not have him in the heisman race? Has to be after this week.

Too much time to talk about Arch

“Arch threw a pick that gave Oklahoma a TD and then another that led to the game-winning field goal, but this guy is a Manning!”

He looked great this game but it’s also the best I’ve ever seen him play

I’ve liked Gunner for a long time but it’s a heart attack with those tight throws either being insane or costly like that potential 2nd INT in our end zone

Well his coin flips landed on heads all game tonight

Because he is just so pure. Like genuinely the dude is liked by all his team mates is what I’ve heard and just a great guy. He isn’t flashy, but passionate. I think that down home good dude persona just absorbs the hype a little.

Georgia’s offense is much more run a ton and let Gunner make plays when needed than all the offenses with QBs throwing a ton. Stetson kinda had the same issue but the O was good enough his final year to get him a Heisman invite.

Tbf I watched him make throws last night like I’ve never seen before. I didn’t know he could do that lol.

Russell is fucking scary

For a freshman .. he shows so much maturity in that pocket and will use his legs when he needs

u/wit_T_user_name Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 6d ago

He’s a sophomore.

Too many blows to the head 🥲

u/gsrreddogg Alabama Crimson Tide 6d ago

He would be a redshirt freshman if the eligibilty rules hadnt just changed.

2

u/Brody1Ken0bi Alabama Crimson Tide • Troy Trojans 6d ago

He would be a redshirt freshman under the old rules. With the new rules, what do you call someone on their 5th year? I honestly don’t know

u/Pauliehatestheadmins Georgia Bulldogs 6d ago

They call them “graduates” now

u/nevermind-stet Georgia Bulldogs • Navy Midshipmen 6d ago

I'm hyped about the o-line. Unfucking believable game.

3rd string did absolute work tonight.

As a Alabama fan I gotta say why? He looked like ass this game. Missed easy throws, footwork was terrible, has no feel for the pocket. When he doesn’t have ten seconds in the pocket he can’t read a defense quick enough to find the open receiver. Every time yall brought pressure it was bad. Hats off should be to gunner he beat us with so many third down throws that were perfectly thrown.
