The Georgia Bulldogs are headed to the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, following an SEC title game victory over the Texas Longhorns.
Georgia ended the year with an 11-2 record, riding a four-game win streak.
While the Bulldogs are headed into the College Football Playoff with clear momentum, starting quarterback Carson Beck suffered an arm injury in the SEC title game on Dec. 7.
He was held out for a large portion of the game, with Gunner Stockton taking over the quarterback duties.
Georgia wound up winning the SEC Championship Game 22-19 over the Longhorns.
While it was known that Beck would likely be sidelined for Georgia’s first College Football Playoff game on Jan. 1, a recent announcement revealed the Bulldogs quarterback will miss the remainder of the year.
Upon the news of Beck being downgraded to “OUT” for the rest of the CFP, some fans took to social media to share their concerned reactions.
“Man that’s tough for him. He’s a hard nosed old school QB that finds a way. So if he isn’t going to play then it must be bad. Prayers up,” said one fan.
“Bad news for Georgia,” said another fan.
“No way,” mentioned one fan.
“That sucks for the guy. I really feel for him,” commented one fan.
“Carson Beck being out is a huge blow to nds playoffs chances,” said one fan.
“Wow that’s awful news for Beck and Georgia,” said another fan.
Beck finished the 2024 season with 28 touchdowns and 3,485 yards with a 64.7 completion percentage. He was playing in his second season as the Bulldogs’ starter after beginning his collegiate career in 2021.
Gunner Stockton will now make his first career start on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl.
Georgia will face the winner of No. 7 Notre Dame versus No. 10 Indiana.
