Full Story:

Georgia is getting its first test of the season against South Carolina in a battle of the quarterbacks.

Carson Beck will get his third career start for the Bulldogs as they begin conference play. Taking over for Stetson Bennett, Beck still needs to prove his ability to lead the back-to-back national champions. He earned wins over UT-Martin and Ball State, throwing for 577 yards and three touchdowns, but the SEC will bring a new challenge for the junior.

Spencer Rattler, on the other hand, takes the cake when it comes to experience, though his second season-opener didn’t go according to plan as the Gamecocks took a beating against North Carolina. Rattler failed to throw a touchdown and was sacked nine times. He found his rhythm against Furman, passing for 345 yards and three touchdowns. South Carolina’s line will need to stay on its toes if it wants to keep the Georgia defense at bay and let Rattler do his thing.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are eyeing a repeat of last year’s matchup where they took an easy win of 48-7. They’ve won seven of the last eight meetings, but their one loss came in home territory in 2019.
