No. 8 Georgia has a non-conference matchup with UMass this weekend as the Bulldogs continue their playoff push.
No. 8 Georgia (8-2, 6-2 SEC) may be done with the conference portion of its schedule, but the Bulldogs still have a couple of games left to prove to the College Football Playoff selection committee they belong in the tournament this year. Heading into the week the Bulldogs are ranked 10th in the latest College Football Playoff Top 25 Poll, but that hardly guarantees them a spot – especially with multiple conference champions potentially falling outside of the top 12 which could bump teams down. In their penultimate game of the year, the Bulldogs welcome UMass (2-8) to Stanford Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

For Georgia, this game will be about building on the offensive progress they made last week. In particular, quarterback Carson Beck had a big bounce back in last week’s 31-17 win over Tennessee after a few rough weeks. Beck threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns against the Vols, completing 25 of his 40 passes. Perhaps more notably he didn’t throw an interception for the first time in five games, after throwing nine total picks over the previous four games.
Beck and the Georgia offense are enough of a challenge for UMass defense, but making things tougher will be the fact that the team dismissed head coach and defensive play caller Don Brown earlier this week. Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shane Montgomery is taking over as the interim, with this being his first ever game as a head coach at the collegiate level.
