ATHENS, Ga. --- University of Georgia freshman quarterback Matthew Stafford has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league announced Monday.
Stafford, a 6-3, 225-pound native of Dallas, Texas, completed 20-of-32 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns
in Georgia's 27-24 win against Mississippi State this past Saturday. A true freshman, he set career highs in attempts, completions,
yards and TD passes. He completed passes to nine different Bulldog receivers.
