Georgia Bulldogs senior quarterback Carson Beck took care of the ball better in Georgia’s 28-10 road loss to Ole Miss, but that was about it. Beck completed 20 of 31 passes for 186 yards and threw one interception, which was tipped. Beck was sacked five times and fumbled twice (one lost fumble) in Georgia’s rough 28-10 road loss to Ole Miss.
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart thinks Carson Beck played pretty well given the circumstances. The Georgia offense was not explosive against Ole Miss and did not test the Rebels deep down the field often.
“I thought he came out gunning and throwing,” said Smart. “Carson (Beck) had his best week of practice. I thought Carson did some good things. He threw some play-action strikes. He stepped up and made some great third-down plays.”
Beck and Georgia moved the ball alright, but turnovers haunted Georgia once again. Beck did not receive much support as running back Nate Frazier fumbled twice and the UGA offensive line struggled.
“I thought Carson (Beck) played good, guys,” said Smart. “We put a lot on him, and he’s playing on the road with crowd noise. But man, he stands in that pocket and converted some third downs and made some really nice plays. I thought he threw the ball away a couple times tonight. It was really good. So I’m not here to be critical of him.”
Georgia needs the best version of Carson Beck if UGA is going to beat Tennessee on Saturday.
