Unit matchups

Quarterback

SC 8 · 9 UGA

Sellers vs Gunner Stockton (Heisman 7th, 2025). Talent gap is real, not fatal.

Offensive line

SC 6 · 10 UGA

Georgia's front is the best in the sport. Protection is survival.

Receivers

SC 7 · 9 UGA

Harbor can still win a go-ball. Everyone else is covered.

Front seven

SC 7 · 9 UGA

Stockton will sit in rhythm unless you wreck a protection.

Secondary

SC 6 · 9 UGA

Don't get stacked. Georgia will throw it over you if you load.

Special teams

SC 7 · 8 UGA

Hidden yardage is how dogs stay in a rivalry.
