Georgia football had yet another big game on their schedule this weekend, this time welcoming an undefeated Ole Miss team to Athens. The Bulldogs offense answered the call all night long and had their best performance so far this season. Georgia's defense on the other hand left a lot to be desired as the Ole Miss offense couldn't be stopped.
But at the end of the day it was Georgia who emerged victorious 43-35 in what was one of the most thrilling games Georgia has played over the last few years in Sanford Stadium.
Here are five massive observations from the Georgia football win over Ole Miss
1. Gunner Stockton has a strong case for being a Heisman contender
Gunner Stockton has made a strong case to be in the running for the Heisman Trophy. Stockton completed 26 of 31 passes against Ole Miss for 289 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 59 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground as well.
Every player that contends for the Heisman Trophy needs their "Hesiman moment." Stockton's Heisman moment very well could have been his outstanding game against the Rebels. Five total touchdowns against a top five team in the country is about as good as it gets, so don't be surprised to start seeing Stockton mentioned with the other frontrunners to win this award.
2. Georgia fans owe Mike Bobo an apology
Georgia fans have not been in love with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo over the last two years. Things have gotten so bad at times that a large section of the fanbase were begging for him to be fired. That ultimately did not happen, and Georgia fans should be thankful for that because Bobo is proving he is one of the best playcallers in the country.
Bobo had Georgia's offense humming all night long against Ole Miss. He called a nearly perfect game which included a great mix of run and pass plays along with some trick plays as well. Every time Ole Miss scored Bobo had an answer, and he was able to keep Georgia in this game while everyone waited for Georgia's defense to wake up.
Bobo's job is as safe as anyone's in Athens right now. While he did struggle at times last season he has clearly learned from his mistakes and has become one of Kirby Smart's top coaches on his staff. Unfortunately the same can't be said for Georgia's coordinator on the other side of the ball.
3. Glenn Schumann, Georgia's defense continue to struggle
Something is seriously wrong with Georgia's defense. They are yet to have a game where they truly dominate for 60 minutes, in fact they haven't even been close to accomplishing that.
Saturday's win over Ole Miss was the worst performance of the season for Georgia's defense because they gave up five straight touchdowns during the Rebels first five drives of the game. It is impossible to do worse than that and defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is to blame.
Schumann consistently does not have his team ready to play. They never seem prepared at the start of every game and they are a big reason why Georgia always finds themselves trailing at the beginning of every game.
Schumann and Georgia's defense do deserve some credit because they did wake up in the fourth quarter and played lights out football. They also have been a very good second half team for the most part all season. But something needs to change because these horrific starts are eventually going to cost Georgia.
4. Lawson Luckie picked a great time to have the game of his career
Outside of Stockton, the best performance Saturday night came from tight end Lawson Luckie. Luckie came to Georgia with a lot of expectations and unfortunately he had not fully lived up to them yet. That however changed agaisnt Ole Miss as he had the game of his career.
Luckie finished the night with five receptions for 43 yards and a whopping three touchdowns. This is the first time any Georgia pass catcher has recorded three touchdowns in a game since the late 2000s, so this performance from Luckie was nothing short of historic.
Going forward no one should expect Luckie to score three touchdowns in any one game, but it is nice to know that he has that potential. But everyone should expect Luckie to be a big part of Georgia's offense for the rest of this season which is a relief because up to this point UGA had been struggling to get any of their tight ends going.
5. Georgia is unbeatable if they play a complete game
Georgia has still been unable to play a full 60 minutes this season. Their offense accomplished that against Ole Miss on Saturday, but their defense really struggled for the first three quarters of this game.
But imagine a world where Georgia magically plays great for a full 60 minutes. The offense is clicking like they were against Ole Miss, the defense is playing as well as they did in the second half against Alabama and Auburn, and Georgia's special teams isn't making any silly mistakes. How good would Georgia be if they were able to put all of that together for a full 60 minutes?
The Bulldogs might be unbeatable if they pulled that off.
There are a lot of great teams throughout the country this season, but likely none of them would be able to beat Georgia if UGA reached their full potential and played a complete game for 60 minutes.
