Georgia Beats Florida 34-20 in "The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party"
Carson Beck Threw for 309 Yards and Two Touchdowns
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Carson Beck jumped into the stands wearing black eye paint smeared across his face and a wide smile. His three interceptions were a distant memory. All he cared about was celebrating another victory in the game he cherishes most.
The Game
Beck threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns to offset three interceptions in his hometown and No. 2 Georgia’s 34-20 victory over Florida on Saturday.
The Verdict
"Now he’s 2-0 as a starter against the Gators," Beck said.
The Takeaway
Georgia: If the Bulldogs make the College Football Playoff, they won’t likely go very far if Beck continues his turnover trend. He now has 11 interceptions in his last five games. It’s baffling for a guy who opened the season as one of the Heisman Trophy front-runners.
Florida
The Gators need to ask themselves how they ended with a walk-on quarterback playing meaningful snaps in a rivalry game. Napier has lost eight scholarship QBs earlier than expected in three years, including Jalen Kitna, Jack Miller, Max Brown, and Jaden Rashada.
Injury Reports
With Jason Marshall and Ja’Keem Jackson already sidelined, the Gators lost two more cornerbacks against Georgia. Moore injured his right knee in the first half and Dijon Johnson injured his left hamstring in the second.
Up Next
Georgia plays at No. 19 Ole Miss next Saturday.
Florida plays at No. 6 Texas next Saturday.
Conclusion
Georgia’s victory marked their fourth straight in the series, their longest streak since winning six in a row between 1978 and 1983. They took advantage of Florida’s quarterback woes and a special teams error in this one.
