Starting Georgia quarterback Carson Beck left the SEC Championship game with a hand injury.
The injury occurred at the end of the second quarter with him rolling out trying to heave a pass towards the end zone and unfortunately he was hit by a Texas defensive lineman while he was in his throwing motion. He was laying down for sometime before heading to the locker room for halftime.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said at halftime ” We have to take a look at him to see if he can go.”
