Carson Beck QB vs. Tate Rodemaker QB
Carson Beck has put together an impressive season for the Bulldogs, completing 289 of 399 passes for 3,738 yards with 22 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, good for a 166.3 passer rating. Beck has shown poise in the pocket and excels at going through his progressions to find the open receiver. His accuracy has improved as the season has gone on. However, he has struggled with turning the ball over at times against elite defenses. The Seminoles defense will be Beck’s toughest test yet. If he can limit mistakes and utilize his talented receiving corps, Beck can lead Georgia to victory.
Tate Rodemaker took over as QB midway through the season and has energized the Seminoles offense. In just 56 pass attempts, he has thrown for 510 yards with 5 touchdowns and no interceptions, posting an impressive 163.1 passer rating. Rodemaker has displayed precision passing ability downfield and also using his legs to extend plays. The big question is whether the redshirt freshman can handle the pressure of his first career start against the top-ranked Bulldogs defense. Rodemaker must protect the football and take shots when available.
Georgia’s Offensive Might: Edwards and Lovett
Daijun Edwards has been Georgia’s standout running back this season. Amassing 819 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns to fuel Georgia’s success. His impressive 5.2 yards per rush attempt indicates his effectiveness at moving the ball downfield. Dominic Lovett, Georgia’s wide receiver, has been an essential piece of their offense this season. With 51 receptions and 575 receiving yards to his credit, he often turns the tide in their favor – and will play an instrumental role in breaking through Florida State’s secondary.
Florida State’s Formidable Trio: Rodemaker, Toafili, and Bell
Rodemaker provides Florida State with leadership from quarterback position, but running back Lawrance Toafili and wide receiver Jaheim Bell are key contributors on offense. Toafili’s impressive 6.7 yards per rush attempt gives Georgia’s defensive line trouble while Jaheim Bell’s 503 receiving yards show off his ability to make significant plays even under tight situations.
NCAAF Betting Odds: Georgia Bulldogs -600, Over/Under: 44.5
