The Georgia Bulldogs are preparing to start sophomore Gunner Stockton in place of injured star quarterback Carson Beck in the College Football Playoffs, per ESPN.
Georgia is reportedly preparing for life without starting quarterback Carson Beck in the College Football Playoff. Beck is reportedly exploring surgery options to repair an injury to the elbow on his throwing arm and is unlikely to return this season, sources told ESPN Thursday. On the last play before halftime in the SEC Championship game, Beck went to throw a Hail Mary, but the Texas defender hit his arm as he threw. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.
Because Georgia beat Texas 22-19 in overtime to win the SEC Championship where Beck got hurt, they secured a first round-bye as the No. 2 seed. They play the winner of No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 10 Indiana. Stockton is in line to make his first career start in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day. Stockton is 25-32 passing for 206 yards in limited action across three games this season.
