In the Georgia Bulldogs’ 41-31 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs that featured several deep passing plays, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck had a historic day throwing the football.
The senior signal caller completed 36 of his 48 passes for a jaw-dropping 459 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, one off a tip from a defensive lineman.
“Well, he’s experienced. You know, the game gets a little tight there, two-score game. And he’s cool. He’s not panicked, takes us on a long drive,” said Georgia coach Kirby Smart on Beck.
“I think he continues to show. He’s got poise in his pocket,” continued Smart. “I thought he took off and ran at good times. I mean, he did some good things and made some good throws. And he’s affected our team in a positive way more this year than he has this past.”
