Summary
The Georgia Bulldogs are aiming for some rare history this season — college football’s first three-peat since the 1930’s — and Kirby Smart's team has handed the keys to this emerging dynasty to a relative unknown at quarterback: Carson Beck. Today, we break down why Beck stayed with the Bulldogs for three years when he easily could have entered the transfer portal. And, can the unproven junior live up to the legacy that his predecessor, Stetson Bennett, left behind in Athens?
Guest: Seth Emerson, The Athletic
