Georgia's Carson Beck injures shoulder, replaced by Stockton

ATLANTA -- Georgia starting quarterback Carson Beck was replaced by backup Gunner Stockton in Saturday's SEC championship game against Texas after injuring his right shoulder on the final play of the first half.

Stockton started the second half at quarterback for Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and finished 12-of-16 for 71 yards and an interception in a 22-19 win.

An injured Beck re-entered the game for one play in overtime, handing the ball off to tailback Trevor Etienne for the game-winning touchdown. Beck was forced back into duty after Stockton's helmet was knocked off following an 8-yard run, which by rule meant he had to sit out one play.
