Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton suffered a brutal blow in the team’s SEC Championship win over the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night.

Stockton was forced into the game following Carson Beck’s injury. In overtime, with the Bulldogs trailing by three points, Stockton had the team at the Longhorns’ 12-yard line. He took the snap and executed a quarterback draw down the middle of the field.

Stockton reached the first-down marker and was hit by two Texas defenders. He was hit badly and saw his helmet fly off his head. He left the game after the hard hit, but that didn’t matter too much.

On the next play, the ball was passed to running back Trevor Etienne and he ran in for the game-winning touchdown.

Georgia won the game 22-19.

The second-year quarterback completed 12-for-16 passes for 71 yards.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said Stockton did not suffer a concussion.

“No, I think he’s fine,” Smart said, via On3 Sports. “He was prepared to get back in the game. We won the game with the play in which he wasn’t there. So he was fine.”

Georgia will likely receive a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, meaning Beck will have another week to recover from the injury he sustained before halftime.
