ATHENS — Most of the fans had left the stadium by the time Carson Beck found Arik Gilbert for a four-yard touchdown catch. The score made it 48-0, with the game well decided by that point.
Based on how Gilbert’s teammates reacted though, you’d have thought he scored the game-winning touchdown in the SEC championship.
The redshirt sophomore tight end was mobbed both on the field and once again on the sidelines. He finished the game with two receptions for 16 yards. It was the first two receptions of his Georgia career.
“For me, especially a guy from Georgia, I was excited for him to score his touchdown,” Georgia edge rusher Nolan Smith said. “We all wanted him to do the Griddy because he came from LSU. Man, I was just excited to see him get out there and see him get in there knowing what he’s been through, all his struggles and stuff, just being able to for him to get refocused and logged back in on something he loves.”
