2. Carson Beck only plays in the first half

As mentioned in the first prediction, there is a great chance Georgia's starters do not play the entire game because of how lopsided this game will likely be. But how fast will Georgia get a big enough lead so they can rest their starters is the question.

But even if Georgia jumps out to a big lead like everyone expects, Kirby Smart might be a little hesitant to pull Carson Beck out of the game right away. The main reason for this being that Beck needs as many opportunities as possible to build up his confidence.

Beck is coming off arguably the best game of his career in Georgia's win against Tennessee last weekend, so the last thing anyone wants is for Beck to go cold after that performance. And Beck has already been known this season to be very inconsistent.

But still, Georgia is going to have such a large lead by halftime and Georgia needs to keep Beck healthy for the rest of the season, so there is a great chance that Beck does not see the field in the second half even if extra playing time could help with his confidence.
