While it was the smart, tactful and gracious thing to do, not everyone was happy with Gunner Stockton taking a knee to seal the game down in Jacksonville. Georgia was up 24-20 on a third-and-medium with an opportunity to ice it in reach. Stockton kept it on a read-option and was wide open heading toward the goal line. He wisely took a knee at the one-yard line to enter victory formation.
The reason bettors are up in arms over this is it allowed Florida to cover the 6.5-point spread, as Georgia only won by four.
