Carson Beck left Saturday’s SEC title game after what Kirby Smart said was a hand injury.

With one second left in the first half, Beck looked to throw deep to give Georgia its first lead of the game.

However, he was hit while throwing and his arm seemed to come to a hard stop.

Beck was quickly looked after by trainers and supervisors and was slow to get out again. He jogged off the field under his own power, but it was clear something was wrong.

Speaking to ESPN just before halftime, Smart said the injury probably wouldn’t have been enough to keep him out of the game – unfortunately, Georgia is now playing at full speed with Gunner Stockton. Smart then told ESPN at the start of halftime that Beck would not be able to return.

With Beck under center, it wasn’t a pretty sight for the Bulldogs, who only managed one field goal in the first half.

On the bright side, Texas’ offense, led by Quinn Ewers, didn’t fare much better – they put two balls through the goalposts and the Longhorns led 6-3 at halftime.

With a loss, it would be the first time Georgia has lost three games since the 2018 season – this year marked the first time they lost to anyone other than Alabama since 2020, when they lost to Ole Miss in Oxford.
