CFB expert Joel Klatt loves what he’s seeing out of Carson Beck

Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt loves what he is seeing out of Georgia football quarterback Carson Beck. Beck, who is in his first season as a starter, looks very polished through eight games.

Beck has 17 total touchdowns, four interceptions, and has thrown for 2,462 passing yards. Beck is the No. 9 passer in the country. Beck has the No. 10 QBR in the country at 81.8. The junior quarterback gets the ball out quickly and has been sacked just five times all year. The Georgia offensive line also deserves a lot of credit for helping prevent pressure on Carson Beck.

Beck and junior wide receiver Ladd McConkey are showing excellent chemistry. McConkey, who was the healthiest he’s been all season against Florida, finished with a season-high six catches for 135 yards and one touchdown.

Joel Klatt did a full breakdown of Carson Beck’s performance against Florida:

Carson Beck does not just rely on star tight end Brock Bowers. Joel Klatt thinks that Georgia will remain undefeated as long as Beck continues his high level of play.

Carson Beck is doing an excellent job of distributing the ball to a wide variety of receivers. Georgia has nine players with 10 or more receptions and nine players with over 100 receiving yards.
