If Georgia goes to win the SEC championship, it would have to take action with out quarterback Carson Beck. On a chaotic play to finish the primary half, Beck was injured and remained on the bottom following a sack. But his substitute, Gunner Stockton, stepped in and led the Bulldogs to an instantaneous landing and a 10-6 lead over Texas.
Georgia opted to go together with Stockton, the backup, popping out of halftime. On the sideline simply earlier than the third quarter started, Beck stood along with his helmet off as Stockton and two different Georgia quarterbacks obtained free. Just earlier than the third quarter started, Beck embraced Stockton.
Beck was dominated out for the sport, in response to the ABC broadcast.
Georgia trailed Texas at halftime of the SEC championship, 6-3.
Stockton put an instantaneous cost into the Georgia offense, main the Bulldogs on a 10-play, 75-yard landing drive. It marked the primary time both workforce had reached the purple zone in what, to that time, had been an unpleasant sport. Beck had been 7-of-13 for 56 yards passing within the first half previous to the harm, and two separate Texas interceptions had been overturned by penalties on the Longhorns.
The query now for Georgia is whether or not this can affect the Bulldogs’ CFP probabilities. Last yr, Florida State was disregarded of the four-team College Football Playoff regardless of being undefeated as a result of an harm to then-Seminoles QB Jordan Travis. Then-CFP choice committee chair Boo Corrigan defended the snub by saying, “You can lose a operating again, you may lose a receiver however once you lose a quarterback as dynamic as Jordan Travis, it modifications their offense in its entirety and that was a extremely massive issue.”
Texas will nonetheless have a say within the matter, but when Georgia is unable to win the SEC championship, there can be some robust questions for the CFP choice committee, and a few nervous ready for the Bulldogs.
