7 days until Georgia football: Honoring Matthew Stafford

With seven days until Georgia football takes on Clemson in Charlotte, we honor one of the greatest No. 7’s in the history of UGA football, quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Stafford took over the starting position the season following DJ Shockley’s departure.

During his three year tenure with the Dawgs (2006-08), Stafford maintained his starting role and improved as a player each season. Throughout his three year career, Stafford tallied 7,731 passing yards on 57.1%, 51 touchdowns, and 33 interceptions. He also ran for 213 yards and 6 touchdowns.
