WATCH: Carson Beck Talks Insane Performance vs Kentucky

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck talks with the media following his breakout performance vs the Kentucky Wildcats.

Georgia Junior QB Carson Beck was 28-for-35, 389 yards, 4 TDs, all career-highs, in directing the efficient offense. In the first half, he was 21-for-26 for 307 yards and 3 TDs. 

The Bulldogs racked up a season-high 608 yards of offense on 73 plays, the first 600-yard+ effort since 2020 versus Missouri (615). In the first half, Georgia had 384 yards on 38 plays, scoring on its first six possessions.

Here's his postgame press conference: 

Beck is the first Bulldog QB since 2013 (Aaron Murray) to have three straight games of 300+-passing yards. Beck’s have come against UAB (338), Auburn (313) and Kentucky (307-in 1st half, finished with 389). Murray went for 323 against Clemson, 309 versus South Carolina and 408 against North Texas to start that season.         

Beck completed his first 13 passes for 158 yards and 2 TDs. The 13 consecutive completions to start a game and that ranks third best in school history. The record is 15 shared by Quincy Carter (1998 vs. LSU) and Eric Zeier (1993 vs Ga. Tech).

Beck hit senior Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint for a 40-yard TD to cap a seven play, 75-yard drive on the opening possession for a 7-0 lead. It was the second TD catch of the year and fifth of Rosemy-Jacksaint’s career. It was the second opening drive TD for the Bulldogs, also versus UAB. Rosemy-Jacksaint finished the game with four catches for a career-high 99 yards and a score. The second possession resulted in a TD on a seven play, 82-yard drive capped by a 15-yard pass to RaRa Thomas, his 1st at UGA and 13th overall for a 14-0 advantage.

After his first incompletion, Beck’s next pass was a 38-yarder to Rosemy-Jacksaint. On the drive, Beck notched his 3rd passing TD, a 5-yarder to sophomore TE Oscar Delp for a 21-0 lead with 11:03 left in the half. It capped a 95-yard drive on 12 plays in a season-long 5:58.

Freshman PK Peyton Woodring made field goals of 32, 36, and a career-long 42-yars plus was 6-for-6 on PATs for a season-high 15 points. The three FGs made was a season-high too.
