Prior to this week, all four of Carson Beck's starts have happened within the confines of Georgia's Sanford Stadium. Needless to say, the young quarterback will experience a much different atmosphere when he emerges from the tunnel of Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday afternoon.
head coach Hugh Freeze didn’t beat around the bush heading into last week’s visit to Texas A&M.
But the crowd and atmosphere at Texas A&M — where Thorne made his first start in the SEC — was likely still a factor. Unlike Thorne, Beck isn’t new to this league. In his first three seasons in Athens, Beck watched from the sidelines as Stetson Bennett piloted the Bulldogs to a pair of national championships.
It’s pretty standard for coaches to request the help of a program’s fans leading into a home game. But in the case of this weekend Freeze’s plea to Tigers’ fans is likely as genuine as ever.Georgia having a young, inexperienced quarterback and playing in a rambunctious place like Jordan-Hare Stadium could be the top-ranked Bulldogs’ Achilles Heel – especially considering Georgia is dealing with a pretty banged up crew of running backs, meaning it might lean on the passing game a bit more.
And until last week when Auburn’s defense was gassed in the second half against Texas A&M, the Tigers’ defense has been able to limit the damage of their opponents’ ground game. Prior to last week’s loss in College Station, the Tigers’ defense averaged giving up just 109 rushing yards per game.
