sad news: this is the end of Carson Beck in Georgia…..

Kirby Smart has helped turn Georgia into college football’s budding dynasty after winning two straight national championships, but after the Bulldogs missed out on the College Football Playoff last year, he’s looking to get back to an expanded postseason in search of a third title.

The first step on that long road starts this weekend at Sanford Stadium as Georgia returns to the football field to put a wrap on spring practices with the annual G-Day Game. Here’s how, and what, you should be watching as things unfold at the scrimmage.

Georgia’s quarterback returns after a very promising effort last year in which he passed for 3,941 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. Now, the Bulldogs need to make some decisions on how to protect him, in particular at left guard and right tackle.

Smart has placed a heavy emphasis in building depth in the trenches this season, and the return of Xavier Truss and Tate Ratledge are key to the project. Micah Morris and Dylan Fairchild are in play at left guard, and both have played with the first team this spring.
