"Carson Beck silenced everyone": CFB analyst drops eye-catching remark on Georgia's QB after Bulldogs' dominant win over Tennessee
The Georgia Bulldogs have had a rocky 2024 season. They started the season strong but their performance has wavered in the last few weeks. As expected, this has brought on an onslaught of criticism from both fans and critics.
Their shocking 28-10 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 12 spelled doom and quarterback Carson Beck came under fire for his performance. Beck led the Bulldogs to win against the Tennessee Volunteers last week.
CBS Sports’ CFB analyst, Brian Jones was beyond pleased with this outcome and praised their performance, describing it as “The performance that we’ve become accustomed to seeing in the Kirby Smart era.”
He also highlighted Carson Beck’s performance saying, “Carson Beck silenced everyone.”
Beck made easy work of the Vols’ defenses. He transitioned from a growing disappointment to an overnight hero. Once again, hopes have been lifted for Bulldogs fans, however, there is still the question of whether Becks' performance will sustain through the rest of the season.
Kirby Smart’s faith in Carson Beck pays off
Georgia Bulldogs coach, Kirby Smart faced heavy criticism for his unwavering confidence in Carson Beck. When the question concerning the quarterback came up on Fox 5 Atlanta’s One On One show, Smart responded saying:
“We’ve got the quarterback we’ve got who’s completely competent and capable and understanding of our system. He gives us the best chance to win.”
Smart's high praise for the quarterback translated into Beck’s game-winning performance against the Tennessee Volunteers.
Carson Beck's status as the face of the team placed him in a scapegoat situation, forcing him to become the subject of much blame. In reality, he was struggling to carry a team that couldn’t quite keep up with him. Smart understood this and clearly made the necessary adjustments, allowing Beck’s skills to shine.
The Bulldogs will next face UMass this week before closing their regular season with a game against Georgia Tech the following week.
