Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck looked back on Georgia’s 30-15 win at the Texas Longhorns ahead of the SEC championship.
“I think the most memorable moment in that game is when their fans started to throw stuff onto the field. That was one of the crazier moments in a game that I’ve ever experienced,” said Beck.
Beck and Georgia jumped out to a stunning 23-0 first half lead at Texas on Oct. 19. The Bulldogs forced four Texas turnovers and sacked the Longhorns seven times in the win. However, it is is not surprising that Beck remembers when Texas fans threw bottles on the field because of a controversial pass interference penalty. The penalty flag, which was waived off after a delay for clearing trash off the field, came on one of Beck’s three interceptions.
“That environment was a lot of fun to play in, and ultimately coming out with a win in that environment was really good for our team,” continued Beck. “Obviously, they’re a really good team. They have a good defense, a really good offense, and they’ve been really consistent throughout the season. They pose a good challenge for us, and it’s for the SEC (championship). I’m excited, and I know the guys are excited for this opportunity.”

Beck has 11 touchdowns and no interceptions over his past three games and will need to be sharp for Georgia to win the SEC championship. Last game, Beck completed 23 of 41 passes for 175 yards and three interceptions. He’ll look to take better care of the ball this time against the Longhorns.
