Georgia football winners and losers following unsatisfying rivalry win over Florida
Georgia football came away with a 34-20 win over the Florida Gators this past weekend.

Drop the eye black. Showboating.
You nailed your comments about Chaz. The man comes to play!
Go, Dawgs!
I disagree with the headline. This was by no means an “unsatisfying rivalry win”. Frustrating, yes. Unsatisfying? We beat the swamp dwellers for the fourth consecutive win. That’s pretty darned satisfying to me.
If I'm counting right, Beck has 2 years of eligibility left (COVID year and redshirt). What is the likelihood that he might come back to try and elevate his draft stock? Lots of moving parts there, including this year‘s quarterback draft class versus next year’s. But if he does, what sort of impact would that have on the quarterback room? Does Stockton hang in there and challenge for the starting gig in spring camp or hit the portal?
With the close wins, Stockton isn't getting the playing time Beck did as a backup. That is likely already frustrating. I hope he sticks it out, but it would be a complex situation if Beck did come back.
These days it seems like we are playing a broken record...how many times am I going to hear " we've got some things to fix".
Week after week we continue to spin our wheels...barely making progress. Then something all of a sudden wakes the Dawgs up and we play with fire and tenacity like we did against Texas. Then against the Gators we're back to playing unmotivated & inconsistently and have lost that drive. Beck digs his hole deeper and deeper. I just hope he can get out of it against the Rebels. His 143 pass efficiency rating is 40th in the country. Dart is #1.
The Dawgs got the Win against the Gators and their 3rd string QB from Yale. We should have blown out those guys.
97GradyDawg, at this juncture, that is one "skarrie" development…..I'll continue to pray for the 2023 Carson to come back!!! As far as Carson's eye black…..he was close to either a civil rights violation for cultural appropriation or a bad Halloween Goth get up??? I'd like to see a simple under eye **** with "No INT's" boldly printed in Dawg Script! I realize that Matt Loeffler's crew sucks and deserve the "LOSER" badge but a more apropos "LOSER" was the GA/FL game crew……they need a clinic on what constitutes HOLDING…..Lastly, Kudos to Travon but the play of the day was Saquon Barkley's Backwards Booty Bounce over the Jag Defender……can't wait til Friday night, what HS RB will be the first to emulate the SBBBB????
@97GradyDawg...our QB situation for next year is a question mark. Beck needs to move on. I hope he does not come back, seriously. We need a dual threat, mobile QB or a better scrambling pocket QB that can make plays & accurate throws on the move. Beck is neither of those kind of QBs. He wilts under the slightest pressure, and his issues are now affecting his confidence. You can see it in his body language.
We've got untested QB talent on the bench and another gauntlet of a schedule next season. Who do you play? Do you hit the portal for experienced talent instead? I don't envy Kirby's predicament.
Loser: CB's credibility
I had really hoped (apparently, against all hope) that THIS time Carson would say something meaningful after another frustrating performance to indicate he finally gets it. But he doesn't: "I just have to go prepare the same exact way next week."
Um, no, you don't... I can give you 11 reasons why preparing the exact same way won't work. Plus Carson needs to add "sideline leadership behavior" to his preparation. It's been decades, but if I saw my QB behaving like CB does between series, I'd have very little confidence we have someone to get the team to "dig deep" when the stuff hits the fan.
Maybe he can call SBIV...? I remember how badly Stetson got maligned after a bad game, mostly by Georgia fans. But every time he said post- game what he needed to fix, I believed he would do it... and he DID.
I no longer take CB at his word...
“you know, it is what it is, and I can’t go back and change it as much as I wish I could. I can’t, and I just have to go prepare the same exact way next week”
No Carson. Preparing the same next week leads to 3 more interceptions next week, fool. You have to quit sulking by yourself on the bench during games, you have to dig deeper, study film harder, join your teammates on the sidelines engaged in pumping your team up, You have to lead by example. Or go sit your sulking blank staring leave me alone pouting behind on that bench away from all your teammates and stay there. Very disappointing watching how you handled things this past weekend. Here’s an idea, instead of going to prepare “the exact same way”, prepare differently.
Kirby must bring in a Co Offensive coordinator and change the O line coach. Play calling is very bland and our O line couldn't move granny in her wheelchair. How did we get here? Some is RB's not picking up blitzes. Most is O Line getting overwhelmed. They don't have any five stars playing, which is the main concern I had with Bobo coming back with Searls. Richt had an attitude that any O Line guy would do, and that is in bobo and searls head. Carson is getting pressure and not performing as well. It's obvious. We can't run the ball either. A change must be made.
@Kudzu...yes, his body language on the sidelines says he is lost. I think he gets confused easily by the defense. And if his first or 2nd receiver isn't open he panics and tries to force the throw into a bad situation. Now he's probably 2nd guessing every decision and just mentally going in circles and seeing things on the field that aren't there.
On Saturday, if he throws a single interception I would take him out and give Gunner a chance. Even if it's only for a series or two just to change the landscape. Things have got to improve with Beck or changes need to be made. We're 11 weeks into the season, and so far he is digressing.
I realize CB is a young man trying to make his way and really not intentionally shifting momentum with multiple TOs, but there has to be a bit more accountability than "I'll get better…". The argument for him that confuses me is made in the grading article - he is the only one that can take UGA through the playoffs if they make it. How is that the conclusion? I see it as while he has ample arm talent, if he can't harness it and use it consistently and not give the opponent the ball in great field position, how can he take the team across multiple games for a championship? To say he keeps making great plays at the end is somewhat akin to crediting the arsonist for putting out the fire.
I get that he appears to be a bit more fragile than SB because if you go back and pull some of the comments by KS around Bennett you can see he delivered 2x4s to the noggin of Bennett about taking better care of the ball. When he talks about Beck, it seems as if it is everyone else's fault and that Beck is just unlucky. I believe if he pulled him, even for a series, it may crush what little confidence is left because to think that Gunnar can't give the team a chance doesn't make sense. He could at least take off and run when things break down - something that Beck either can't or won't do.
Love the DAWGS and really want them to sort all of this out because there is a team of guys busting their hump to win and the TOs are putting that at great risk.
Hope this doesn't come across as blasphemy, because I'm simply the messenger… labeling Kirby a winner after this game feels fair due to the rivalry stat sheet, but at the same time seems complicated in the context of evolving sentiment. After another disappointing game, even diehard fans are willing to criticize him in recent weeks, whether it be questioning management of his assistant coaches or how he's handling players. Don't get me wrong… he's in my opinion the best thing that's ever happened to this program (yes, including Vince Dooley… perhaps more blasphemy)… but it's interesting that until recent weeks, he's walked on water and now appears human. SEC football is brutal, yet look at Georgia's standing. I remain nervously bullish on this season. Go Dawgs!
"Much of that can be chalked up to Florida going down to its third-string quarterback."
Y'all, I'm sick of hearing this already. Largely, our D was doing fine against their new #1.
Until someone can prove to us that the game would have, without a doubt, ended up differently (good luck grabbing the ESPN results from that alternate reality, or making the numbers that he was putting up vs the numbers the D was putting up actually present that as THE ONLY POSSIBLE outcome) if the guy had stayed in… Please. Stop. Saying. This.
It's Jameson and Mitchie all over again.
What I see in CB is a kid who's trying too hard and is in his own head too much. There's no doubt he's got the talent, but I think he's putting too much pressure on himself to make a play, every play. Last year, he was a decent quarterback who was replacing SBIV so expectations (external and internal) were low. This year, he started as the Heisman favorite / #1 pick driving a $400k Lambo. I hope he can settle himself down and play like he knows how to play.
