Kadin Semonza QB vs. Carson Beck QB
Kadin Semonza‘s passing stats reveal an efficient but subpar quarterback. Despite having an admirable completion percentage of 71.4%, Semonza only managed one touchdown with that stat. His passing rating of 153.1 suggests his competence, while his yards per attempt (7.9) suggests a preference for shorter throws rather than riskier downfield attempts; his longest pass only reached 27 yards! This all indicates his limited vertical game.
Carson Beck has emerged as Georgia’s offensive unit’s driving force, as his impressive stats attest. He completed 21 out of 31 passes for 294 yards and showed an affinity for making big plays. His quarterback rating stands at 158.1; average yards per throw stands at 9.5, much higher than his counterpart from Ball State, reflecting an ability to complete passes and make them count for more yardage than ever

Ball State Cardinals Betting Trends
Ball State’s betting trends show an alarming decline. They have gone 1-5 straight-up in their last six matches and an alarming 1-8 against the spread in September – although 7 out of 8 games had under totals for them despite offensive deficiencies overshadowing defensive strengths. Furthermore, each time they’ve faced off against Southeastern Conference opponents, the total has gone over in multiple encounters, suggesting high-scoring affairs with stronger oppositions.
Georgia Bulldogs Betting Trends
Georgia, however, has been an impressive team, especially at home, going undefeated over their last 18 games at Georgia Stadium and recording an outstanding 10-0 mark over their last ten. While they have been consistent against the spread in their six attempts so far this month (although not always covering it completely), September games often saw total scores go under, which suggests their defense has kept scores to a minimum.
