• Stackhouse said position coach Tray Scott has “definitely” helped him with his confidence.

• Stackhouse was asked what has changed in Georgia since he arrived in 2020. In his mind, nothing has. Everybody continues to buy into the standard. “All we preach is the standard,” Stackhouse said.

• Stackhouse said he’s seen a lot of maturity from Ellis Robinson IV, “Like I’ve seen from a lot of those young guys.”

• Stackhouse said stopping the run will remain the top challenge for the defense.

• Stackhouse said the players haven’t even thought about being underdogs.

• Stackhouse said the noise at Darrell Royal Stadium will be nothing they haven’t seen before.
