In the heart of Atlanta, a bizarre play during the first half of the SEC championship game sent Georgia football's starting quarterback, Carson Beck, to the ground with an injury. More than half a dozen staff members immediately surrounded him, as he had been sacked by Texas' Trey Moore and fumbled. Anthony Hill managed to return the ball to the Georgia 23-yard line, with offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild ending up with it as the half came to a close. Texas held a 6-3 lead at that time.

Carson Beck Injury Update

Georgia radio sideline reporter D.J. Shockley informed that Gunner Stockton would be inserted into the game in the second half. Beck was nowhere to be seen when the players were warming up. Shockley stated, "It seems like it might be Gunner's time now." And indeed, Stockton took his place in the game.Georgia coach Kirby Smart told ABC before the second half that Beck is "out." It appeared to be a right elbow injury, as he was seen icing it. Smart provided an injury update on Beck to ABC before leaving the field at halftime. He said, "They just said his hand got hit as he was throwing it. The guy came all the way around the edge, which is something that happens in such situations. He needs to be more aware and just get rid of the ball."When asked if Beck will be okay, Smart replied, "He should be, I'm not sure. We need to go and look at him."
