Georgia has established itself as the class of college football after going 42-2 over the past three seasons with two national championships. After missing the 2023 College Football Playoff, however, the Bulldogs have a fresh dose of motivation. If the way UGA asserted itself in a 63-3 Orange Bowl victory over Florida State was any indication, the ‘Dawgs are going to be relentless in their pursuit of a return to the top of the sport.
The only program to beat Georgia over the past three seasons is Alabama, which bid farewell to legendary coach Nick Saban this offseason. Michigan, which took the national championship mantle from Georgia in January, is also going through a coaching change. As a result, the door has been flung wide open again for ninth-year coach Kirby Smart to take his alma mater back to the summit.
That journey will pass an important reference point Saturday during the annual G-Day spring game. While Smart is unlikely to show much of the playbook or let any state secrets out of the bag, the scrimmage will nonetheless be the most insightful look yet at what Georgia will be in 2024.
With the Bulldogs set to put themselves on display to conclude the spring practice session, let’s dive in a little deeper. Here are some spring game storylines, as well as information on how to watch the Bulldogs’ 2024 debut.

2024 Georgia spring game storylines
1. Which playmakers step up? Departed tight end Brock Bowers and receiver Ladd McConkey are potential first-round draft picks after playing huge roles over the past three seasons. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, UGA’s third-leading receiver last season, is gone, too. G-Day will offer a glimpse into which players are primed to fill the production void. Receivers Arian Smith, Dominic Lovett and Dillon Bell are among the receivers to watch, but tight end Oscar Delp is also a serious breakout candidate. After playing second fiddle to Bowers, Delp figures to be on the receiving end of significantly more targets in 2024 after catching 24 passes in 2023.
2. Critical reps for reserves: A year ago, Georgia opened with Tennessee-Martin, Ball State, South Carolina and UAB. All four contests were home games, and none of the opponents went on to reach a bowl game (Tennessee-Martin isn’t even an Football Bowl Subdivision program). The easy beginning allowed Georgia to get in-game reps for backup quarterbacks Gunner Stockton and Brock Vandagriff, along with many other reserves. This time around, the opening isn’t so soft. The Bulldogs open against Clemson at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. After a patsy game with Tennessee Tech in Week 2, their next two games are at Kentucky and at Alabama. The next time Georgia is playing football with fans in the stands will be against a power-conference team, and only one of its first four games is at home this season. That makes spring game reps all the more important for the inexperienced players who may be called upon to help the Bulldogs win a critical game in Week 1.
3. Young secondary stars: Among the losses in Georgia’s secondary were cornerback Kamari Lassiter, safety Javon Bullard and safety Tykee Smith. While there is plenty of returning talent waiting in the wings to fill their shoes, a couple of newcomers from the nation’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class have also arrived on the scene with much fanfare. Ellis Robinson IV was the No. 2 overall player and top cornerback in the Class of 2024, per 247Sports. KJ Bolden is also on campus after ranking as the No. 1 safety in the class. It may not be their time to shine just yet, but G-Day offers them an early chance to show what they can do. Alabama got major contributions from a freshman safety last season in Caleb Downs. Perhaps Georgia can do the same this season in its secondary.

Lake Rabun (Rabun County Sheriff’s Office)
RABUN COUNTY, Ga. – A north Georgia man has been found dead in Lake Rabun after disappearing overnight.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said they were called to a possible drowning at the lake on Saturday afternoon.
According to officials, 39-year-old Dillard resident Robert Clinkscales had been last seen around 10:30 p.m. on Friday. The next morning, his shoes and phone were discovered at the entrance of the property’s boathouse.

After a short search, Clinkscales’ body was found in 40 to 50 feet of water about 30 feet from the boathouse.
Around midnight, a diver was able to retrieve the man’s body. It has since been sent to the Rabun County Coroner for an autopsy.
Officials have not shared details as to what happened before Clinkscales’ death.
Clinkscales is the second person to drown in Georgia over the Fourth of July holiday. On Friday, 16-year-old Laquvis McCray from Atlanta drowned while on a trip with family and friends to Tybee Island near Back River.

Carson Beck in Elite QB Company
![Carson Beck in Elite QB Company](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_1942,h_1092,x_0,y_16/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/dawgs_daily/01j26xfz5jatrxrs5yhj.jpg)
Georgia football quarterback Carson Beck is in elite company heading into the 2024 college football season.
One of the biggest advantages Georgia has heading into the 2024 college football season outside of having Kirby Smart as the program’s head coach is quarterback Carson Beck. He is considered to be one of, if not, the best players at his position and a top candidate to be the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Beck pieced together an impressive 2023 campaign, which was his first season as Georgia’s starter. He nearly threw for 4,000 yards, completed over 70 percent of his balls and had a 24/6 touchdown touchdown-to-interception ratio. He was as consistent as it gets at quarterback and continued to progress throughout the season. In fact, he was so impressive during the 2023 season, that he placed himself amongst some elite quarterback company due to his performances against conference opponents.
Stat of the day:
In 2023, Carson Beck became just the fifth P4 QB since 2009 to throw for 2,500+ yards and complete over 70% of his passes against conference opponents in their first season as a starter. The others? CJ Stroud, Mac Jones, Kedon Slovis and Kyler Murray pic.twitter.com/kCT6OJnXeL

This is a very promising stat for Georgia fans for multiple reasons. First of all, Georgia will have to go through a grinder of a conference schedule this season. Three road games against Texas, Alabama and Ole Miss with home games against Tennessee and Auburn just to name a few. The Bulldogs will need Beck to play up to the standard that is expected of him in order for them to achieve their aspirations, and the stat book says that shouldn’t be a problem for him.
Elite quarterback play has become an essential aspect of national titles and even playoff teams over the years. Georgia has that with Beck under center and if he improves upon what he did just a season ago, then the Bulldogs should be in a pristine position to push for a third national title over the last four seasons.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tonight, temperatures will drop into the mid-to-upper 70s after a very hot and humid Saturday. The cold front over Georgia continues to stall bringing more moisture to the area tomorrow keeping high temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s, slightly cooler than Saturday. We’re not expecting the National Weather Service to issue a Heat Advisory on Sunday.
Summertime norms return on Monday, with highs staying around 90. Rain chances continue in the afternoon.
We’re watching the tropics, too. Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane late Sunday. Landfall north of Corpus Christi is likely between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. Monday morning.
