Carson Beck of Georgia avoids watching football games during his leisure time: "It's stressful for me."

The 2024 SEC title will be decided in Atlanta on Saturday as the teams compete.

Georgia and Texas both advanced to the championship game after surviving overtime periods. Georgia defeated Georgia Tech on Nov. 29, while Texas defeated Texas A&M on Nov. 30.

Beck tends to avoid watching football games during his free time because of the stress it induces.

Beck stated that he does not enjoy watching games for leisure, as he finds it unenjoyable.

When asked if he planned to watch Texas-Texas A&M, Beck stated that he doesn't watch football.

Although it may seem unusual, I don't enjoy watching football. It's not enjoyable for me. Instead of watching a game, I prefer to watch films. To clarify, when I watch a game, I become extremely anxious and stressed out the entire time.

"I'm like, 'Why this coverage?' while watching the defense. I'm like, 'Well, why did he throw it there against this coverage?' But, I mean, you could learn from watching it, but it's stressful for me because I don't ever get my break whenever it comes to football."

Watching film is a regular part of Beck's routine, but he doesn't seem to prefer playing games.

"I've watched the film again, knowing that we'll be playing Texas in the SEC championship. Their defense is impressive, with a lot of talent on defense. Their defensive coordinator does a great job of positioning them well. I'm thrilled to have the chance to play them again."

Despite losing 27-24 to Alabama in the SEC championship game and missing the College Football Playoff last year, Georgia's win over Georgia Tech boosted their chances of making the new 12-team playoff.
