Georgia quarterback Carson Beck’s mom had a reassuring message for Gunner Stockton’s mom after the former’s son was injured during the SEC Championship Game against Texas on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs pulled off an overtime win over the Longhorns, having been the only team to beat them during the season. However, the victory came at a great cost as Beck suffered a painful-looking injury to his throwing arm on the final play of the first half and didn’t return until the final snap in overtime – even then, it was to hand the ball to his running back.
As you might imagine, the QB’s mother was pretty worried. But she was strong enough to tell Stockton’s mom “We got this,” before his backup came up clutch for UGA.

The Extent Of Carson Beck’s Injury Is Still Unknown
The Bulldogs indeed had this, doing just enough to win the game in overtime and lock in a playoff bye that affords them plenty of rest and, hopefully, recovery where Beck is concerned.
Kirby asked about Beck and Stockton…
“Both of those guys are great competitors, but how bout that offensive line?“

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart could only disclose that the QB had sustained an “upper extremity injury” after the game. An MRI will likely determine how bad it is and whether he will be able to return for the playoffs.
“He’s got an upper extremity injury. We don’t know to what extent,” Smart told reporters. “It looked okay but he couldn’t have grip strength and couldn’t throw the ball in the locker room.”
