ATHENS \u2014 Georgia football has played so well through the first four outings that its starters have yet to play a complete game.<\/p>\n
Gunner Stockton took his final snap in the 41-13 win over Oklahoma on Saturday with 8:46 left and the Bulldogs leading 38-6 and about to add three more points on Peyton Wooding\u2019s 49-yard field goal.<\/p>\n
Stockton no longer leads the nation in passing efficiency (209.05), but he\u2019s second behind Miami\u2019s Darian Mensah (228.23), but he\u2019s leading the nation\u2019s top scoring offense (54.8 points per game).<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0 SEC) are ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll and in firm control of their destiny with Vanderbilt (3-1, 0-1) on deck at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at how other teams are tending:<\/p>\n
Stock Soaring<\/p>\n
Florida is red-hot thanks to new coach Jon Sumrall, who is looking like the best new coaching hire in the SEC after getting Florida off to a 4-0 start that has the Gators ranked No. 8 in the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe in our team, believe in the direction we\u2019re headed,\u201d Sumrall said, per GatorCountry.com,<\/a> after Florida scored a 54-28 win over Ole Miss on Saturday in Gainesville. \u201cWe still are not a finished product by any stretch of the imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n Florida tailback Jadan Baugh leads the nation with 11 rushing touchdowns and is second in the nation with 600 yards rushing <\/p>\n Alabama is back on a roll, 4-0 after a dominant 49-18 win over South Carolina on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n They\u2019re explosive and really talented; we knew that, and they showed that tonight,\u201d South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said. \u201cThey have a really, really good offense and a really good offensive scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tide rolled up 318 yards by halftime, quarterback Keelon Russell passing for 234 yards in the game\u2019s first 30 minutes as Alabama took a 35-10 lead into intermission.<\/p>\n Mississippi State is ranked No. 16 thanks to the spectacular play of quarterback Kamario Taylor, who shredded Missouri\u2019s defense in a 31-24 win over the then-No. 19-ranked Tigers, passing for 360 yards and three touchdowns by completing 27 of 38 passes with an interception.<\/p>\n Taylor is playing so well, he\u2019s already answering questions about a possible transfer after this season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really kind of hard because I\u2019m in season and I don\u2019t want to reply,\u201d Taylor said after the win, per the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. <\/a> \u201cI don\u2019t look at things like that in the season. When people comment, it\u2019s hard for me to talk to them the way I want to talk to them. But if you know me, you know I bleed maroon and white.\u201d<\/p>\n Stock Up<\/p>\n Texas held the No. 1 spot by escaping Tennessee\u2019s Neyland Stadium with a 20-17 win on Saturday thanks to a smothering Will Muschamp defense that provided 10 quarterback sacks.<\/p>\n \u201cI think coming into the game today, I think no team in the country had more wins against top 25 teams since 2023,\u201d Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian said per GoVols247.<\/a> \u201cSo we\u2019re kind of used to this environment, we\u2019re kind of used to this arena and I know we may not always be our best and play super clean football, and I get it, we\u2019re held to a different standard than maybe other places.\u201d <\/p>\n Arkansas came off the mat to beat Tulsa 34-6 the Saturday after suffering a 45-17 home loss to Georgia, as receiver Chris Marshall (who had seven catches for 136 yards against Georgia) had nine catches for 195 yards and a touchdown against the Golden Hurricane.<\/p>\n \u201cI told the guys in the locker room, I said, \u2018Remember this feeling\u2019,\u201d Coach Ryan Silverfield said, per SI.com.<\/a> \u201cAnd think about the preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n The Razorbacks (2-2) play at Texas A&M at 7 p.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n Stock Down<\/p>\n Texas A&M started the season at No. 8 in the AP Top 25, but after consecutive losses to Kentucky (31-21) and LSU (35-6), third-year coach Mike Elko is searching for answers.<\/p>\n
