Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck matched his season-high of five touchdown passes in an epic win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, a game which needed eight overtimes to extract a 44-42 result in Georgia’s favor. With the hard-fought win, the Bulldogs improved to 10-2, likely securing a spot in the newly introduced 12-team College Football Playoff field after already securing their spot in the SEC Championship game.
Beck was on top of his game, throwing for 297 yards (completing 28 of 43 pass attempts), five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. His sister and mother were in attendance at Sanford Stadium to watch the quarterback in action.

Beck on Overtime Thriller: ‘Craziest Game I’ve Ever Been a Part Of’
When the quarterback Beck met reporters after the game, he forgot the count of overtimes he played. Thanks to Nate Frazier’s two-point conversion, the Bulldogs emerged as winners in the longest SEC game in history.
Beck ensured that he didn’t turn the ball over despite struggling with efficiency all season. After the game, the signal-caller couldn’t believe the intense football action he had just gone through.
“Wow, that game was crazy. Definitely the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of,” Beck said while showing belief in the team. “Our group showed that we were resilient tonight. We’ve shown that over and over this season, that regardless of the circumstances, we’re never going to give up, and, I mean, that came into fruition tonight.
“It’s going to take four quarters, or however long it takes. Tonight, it was however long it takes, right” he added. “They made the plays when they needed to. We made the plays when we needed to. I mean, I don’t even really know what to say. It was just wild. It was an emotional game.”
Coach Kirby Smart also applauded his quarterback.
“Carson’s fine. Carson’s not a real emotional guy. I’m sure he got frustrated. We all get frustrated, but Carson composes himself. He goes and plays the next play. That’s all he can do. He’s seen it all and been around it. It’s not something that stresses me out,” Smart said when asked about his quarterback.
Though the Bulldogs avoided an upset loss, they need to be better when they face either the Texas Longhorns or Texas A&M Aggies in the SEC Championship Game.
