Ball State faces No.1 Georgia on Saturday, September 9, 2023 (9/9/23) at Sanford Stadium in in Athens, Georgia.
ATHENS, Ga. — No. 1 Georgia was supposed to be hitting the road for a most intriguing matchup.Coming off a 48-7 victory over FCS opponent Tennessee-Martinin a season opener that was little more than a glorified scrimmage, Georgia is a 43.5-point favorite against Ball State, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
But, when the Sooners and fellow Big 12 school Texas stunningly announced they were bolting for the Southeastern Conference, the Bulldogs were directed by the SEC office to dump their trip to Norman to accommodate future scheduling for the two new members. “This is what you want,” coach Mike Neu said. “When you’re a kid growing up, playing the game of football and you fall in love with it, this is the type of stage that you dream about.”Smart said he was pleased with Carson Beck’s first start as Georgia’s quarterback, even if some fans and media were less than impressed.
Smart indicated both could be ready to go against Ball State, though the Bulldogs figure to be extra careful in bringing them back with an SEC game against South Carolina looming the following week. Marquez Cooper played last season at another Mid-American Conference school, Kent State, who lost to Georgia 39-22 in a surprisingly hard-fought contest.
With McConkey and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint sidelined in the opener, Mews took a screen pass 54 yards for a touchdown and finished with three catches for 75 yards. He added another 50 yards on returns.
