How Georgia football transfers fared in G-Day game

Saturday’s G-Day matchup ended with a tie between the red and black teams. Georgia football fans got a first look at the incoming transfers brought in by the Bulldogs this offseason.

Georgia’s spring game consisted of a heavy dose of passing and a lot of vanilla play calls (by design). The Bulldogs passed on over 73% of their 116 offensive plays (not including special teams plays). Georgia quarterback Carson Beck threw for 301 passing yards on 45 attempts. He threw a pair of touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.

Wide receiver Dominic Lovett made an incredible catch on Beck’s last touchdown pass with under a minute left. Lovett finished the day with seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown. He is projected to be Carson Beck’s top receiving option this fall.

Defensively, outside linebacker Mykel Williams recorded an interception. Linebacker Raylen Wilson finished with a game-high eight tackles. Wilson’s running mate at inside linebacker, CJ Allen, impressed as well, recording five solo tackles and an interception.
