Georgia QB Carson Beck announces Bulldogs return for 2024 season
The Georgia Bulldogs won’t have a quarterback problem to solve in 2024
Though they still have a high-profile New Year Six matchup with the undefeated Florida State Seminoles coming up in the Orange Bowl, this season will go down as a disappointment for the Georgia football team. Hey, if you win back-to-back National Championships and then fall short in your quest for the first three-peat in nearly 100 years, no matter what else you do, the season is going to feel like a letdown. But what’s not a letdown for fans of the Georgia Bulldogs is the recently announced return of starting quarterback Carson Beck, who is opting to come back to Georgia for one more season instead of entering his name in the 2024 NFL Draft.
With one game still remaining in Georgia’s season, the aforementioned Orange Bowl in Miami, Carson Beck has currently accumulated 3,738 passing yards, 26 total touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, which are comparable numbers to former Georgia QB Stetson Bennett, who had 4,128 passing yards, 37 total touchdowns and 7 interceptions last season in two more games than Beck has played this year. To make a long story short, Georgia didn’t fail to make the College Football Playoff because of a drastic dip from Stetson Bennett to Carson Beck. Beck played well enough all season long for Georgia to contend for their third consecutive national title, and his return to Athens is a huge development for a Bulldogs team that will have championship or bust expectations every year for the foreseeable future.
