ATHENS, Ga. — With Saturday’s G-Day game in the books, the banter about who should be Georgia’s quarterback next season will continue non-stop until the Bulldogs’ opening game Sept. 2. Truth be told, it likely will continue well after that.
Following the 15-practice spring session and the annual intrasquad scrimmage, fourth-year junior Carson Beck clearly emerged atop the pecking order. That’s based strictly on quarterback snap distributions and available statistical information. Beck got the majority of work with the No. 1 offense all spring, as well as during G-Day, while sophomore Brock Vandagriff got the second-most snaps and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton third.
But coach Kirby Smart emphasized going into and out of G-Day that only about a quarter of the data the coaching staff will use to make a final decision has been processed. Still to come this summer are offseason strength-and-conditioning workouts, 7-on-7 camps, volunteer throwing sessions and eight hours a week of regularly scheduled practices and video-review sessions with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.
