Carson Beck entered the 2024 season with Heisman hopes and the UGA Bulldogs dreamt of another National Championship. Those visions are growing more and more distant as the season goes on with a critical home game vs Tennessee under the lights on Saturday. Both Beck and the team are in desperate need of a win to keep those dreams alive.
Beck has all but played himself out of Heisman contention barring a run in their last stretch of the season that is nothing short of heroic. The team, however, still has a chance to make the College Football Playoff should they run the table in their last three regular season contests. The first step in doing so is taking down a dominant Vols squad.
Georgia simply cannot afford another loss in the regular season to keep their playoff hopes alive. The team has sustained numerous key injuries but their inconsistent play has been the real bugaboo in 2024.
