This weekend, the Georgia Bulldogs (8-2) are set to face off against the UMass Minutemen (2-8) at home, aiming to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive following a solid performance against Tennessee. Quarterback Carson Beck, who has been key to Georgia's offense, looks to maintain his momentum while the Bulldogs' run defense prepares to face UMass's balanced rushing attack led by Jalen John. Meanwhile, UMass enters the game under interim coach Shane Montgomery after the dismissal of Don Brown. Montgomery plans to continue calling plays and is focusing on establishing the running game to create a multidimensional offense. Key players to watch include Georgia’s Beck and UMass's rotating freshman quarterbacks Ahmad Haston and AJ Hairston. Georgia, favored to win by 42 1/2 points, leads the series 1-0 and is determined to extend their impressive 29-game home winning streak.
