The SEC Championship Game is set to be an exciting one this year, with two unlikely quarterbacks leading their respective teams to the big game. Georgia and Alabama both had to turn to their backup quarterbacks, Jake Beck and Mason Milroe, after their original starters were injured. Despite the odds, these two QBs have been able to lead their teams to the championship game.
Beck and Milroe have had to step up in a big way for their teams. Beck, a redshirt freshman, was thrust into the starting role when Georgia’s starter, Jake Fromm, was injured in the second quarter of the Bulldogs’ game against Florida. Beck was able to rally the team and lead them to a 24-17 victory over the Gators. He has since gone on to lead the Bulldogs to a 6-1 record as a starter, with his only loss coming against Auburn.
Milroe has also had to step up for Alabama. He was called upon after the Crimson Tide’s starter, Tua Tagovailoa, was injured in their game against Mississippi State. Milroe has since led Alabama to a 5-1 record as a starter, with their only loss coming against LSU. He has also been able to lead Alabama to wins over Auburn and Texas A&M.
These two QBs have been able to lead their teams to the SEC Championship Game despite being thrust into the starting role late in the season. They have both shown great resilience and determination in leading their teams to this point, and it will be exciting to see who comes out on top in this year’s championship game. It is sure to be an exciting matchup between two teams led by two unlikely quarterbacks.
