Georgia Turns to Their Backup

Georgia won their last game in the Big 12 Championship game, but they lost their starting quarterback Carson Beck and that means they are now going to have to turn to Gunnar Stockton. He came in relief in the last game against the Longhorns and he completed 12 of his 16 passes for 71 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. The only real good part of the injury is the layoff. They had to get prepared to ready for this game. Georgia on the season is averaging 33.2 points while their defense is giving up 20.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league while the defense is ranked 20th. Arian Smith has been the top wide receiver and he has caught 47 passes for 750 yards and four touchodwns. 

How Good is Notre Dame?

Notre Dame in has only one loss earlier this year against Northern Illinois but sinc etthat point they have been quite impressive. Notre Dame did let Indiana into the game a little bit in the las game, but they still ended up pull out the 27-17 victory. Riley Leonard completed 23 of his 32 passes for 201 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Two games ago against USC, Notre Dame scored 49 points and they ended up winning by 14 points. Notre Dame’s offense has been strong all season and they are averaging 38.8 points while their defense is giving up 13.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd in all of college football. In this game, the Fighting Irish need to put the pressure on Stockton to try and throw him off balance. 

Notre Dame vs Georgia Prediction

With Carson Beck under center for Georgia my answer is probably different, but the Bulldogs are turning to their backup quarterback, and that is going to really hurt them in this game. This Notre Dame offense is often overlooked also and that is going to be the difference here. Georgia is going to have some major issues moving the ball. Notre Dame will get another strong game from Riley Leonard and the Fighting Irish will cover the spread.
