After defeating Clemson, Beck said that he felt some nerves ahead of the season opener which may have affected Georgia’s offensive attack early. After heading into the halftime locker room with a 6-0 lead, warmups were over.
“Once we got in that second half, looking at the iPad, seeing what they were doing against us, it was everything that we saw on film that we watched from last year,” Beck said postgame. “So we just kind of deciphered which ways we wanted to attack them and maybe tried to be a little bit more aggressive coming out at the half, and I think we did a really good job of that.
“We got on the perimeter, had some good perimeter runs and were able to throw the ball down the field a little bit, and that ultimately ended up opening things up for us.”
Running back Trevor Etienne served a suspension during this game, so true freshman Nate Frazier earned the bulk of Georgia’s carries on Saturday. He took 11 rushes for 83 yards and a touchdown during his collegiate debut.
After the game, head coach Kirby Smart would not comment on whether Etienne would return for this matchup, although it appears Frazier can be reliable in his place.
