Georgia Faces Quarterback Questions Ahead of Sugar Bowl After Carson Beck Injury

With Carson Beck sidelined indefinitely, Gunner Stockton's dynamic play has reignited debate over Georgia's quarterback strategy as the Bulldogs prepare for the College Football Playoff.

Carson Beck, Georgia's starting quarterback, is out indefinitely with an elbow injury sustained during the SEC Championship game against Texas.
Backup quarterback Gunner Stockton impressed in relief, showcasing mobility and energy that reinvigorated Georgia's offense and helped secure a narrow overtime win.
Critics, including Georgia legend David Pollack, have questioned head coach Kirby Smart's decision to stick with Beck all season, suggesting Stockton may offer a more dynamic presence under center.
Stockton's performance highlighted his ability to extend plays with his legs and energize teammates, contrasting with Beck's steadier but less emotionally charged style.
Georgia's first-round bye in the College Football Playoff gives the team time to adjust its strategy, with Stockton likely to start if Beck remains unavailable for the Sugar Bowl.
