Georgia Is One Of The Biggest Losers Of Week 10, Even Though They Won Their Game Against Florida

There is no such thing as an ugly win, but if there had been, Georgia’s win over Florida this week would have been in that category.

The Bulldogs’ offense struggled most of the day to move the ball down the field, and quarterback Carson Beck threw the ball more to the White jerseys than his team in the first half.

Beck threw three interceptions, and the only reason Georgia didn’t lose was that Gators star quarterback DJ Lagway left the game on a cart with a leg injury in the first half. 

Georgia was lucky it didn’t suffer its second loss of the season. Even though it got the win, one media outlet still thinks it was one of the week’s biggest losers.

Georgia’s Offense Had A Rough Day

Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon published his College Football 2024: Winners and Losers from Week 10, and the Bulldogs offense has one of the losers. 

Kenyon had many great reasons not to be happy with Georgia’s win over Florida, and here are his thoughts.

Georgia won. That’s what the Dawgs care about.

As their fans celebrate a fourth consecutive win over rival Florida, though, the concern about UGA’s offense is undeniable.

Carson Beck tossed three interceptions, which he’d already done in both the loss at Alabama and last week’s victory over Texas. The worst part is Beck, who’s thrown 11 picks in eight contests this year, made a few truly terrible decisions. It wasn’t just a string of bad luck.

The context of Saturday’s game meant the mistakes weren’t crushing.

Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, a talented true freshman yet a replacement for the injured Graham Mertz, exited with a potentially serious injury of his own. After that, it always felt inevitable that UGA would escape, and two UF mistakes—a botched snap on a field goal and a late interception—aided the Dawgs in their 34-20 triumph.

Georgia’s defense is good enough to beat anyone. Conversely, if Beck continues to have a turnover problem, just about anyone may be able to steal one from the Dawgs.

 

Georgia needs to figure out its offense quickly because in the next two weeks, it is going up against two great defenses in Ole Miss and Tennessee. Both teams have a nice offense that can pull the game away if the Bulldogs struggle to score.
