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.

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.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – First lady Jill Biden is coming back to Georgia less than two weeks after her husband’s appearance at the first presidential debate in Atlanta.

The White House says the first lady will go to Columbus, Georgia on Monday for a campaign event.

Details about the event have not been released.

The first lady is no stranger to the Peach State. Her last visit was for the presidential debate, after which she and Biden stopped at a Waffle House on Cobb Parkway.

Jill Biden also visited Atlanta in March as part of a tour touting the “Women for Biden-Harris” program. At this stop, she warned that another Trump presidency would threaten women, saying that the Republican has “spent a lifetime tearing us down and devaluing our existence.”

At a woman-owned event space in downtown Atlanta, the first lady assured a friendly audience that “Joe and Kamala” will push for a national abortion rights law superseding state restrictions, while also protecting access to fertility treatments and birth control.

Georgia remains a pivotal state for Biden and former President Donald Trump. Biden won by less than a percentage point in Georgia in 2020, a razor-thin amount of 12,670 votes.

Biden’s victory was the first time since 1992 that a Democratic candidate won the state.

Currently, polls suggest Georgia is leaning Republican.
