Part 2/5:
The second half saw a remarkable performance from quarterback Gunner Stockton, who demonstrated both guts and poise under pressure. With his team rallying around him, Stockton was a key figure in moving the offense down the field. One of the pivotal moments came when he was hit hard by Makuba, resulting in a targeting review that cast a shadow over the proceedings. Commentators speculated about whether the hit was with the crown of the helmet or the side, but the ruling ultimately determined there was no foul for targeting. Instead, the play continued, and Georgia found itself just short of the goal line, signifying the intensity of the contest.
