Kirby Smart says Carson Beck doesn't have much to prove anymore
Kirby Smart is very confident in Carson Beck’s abilities and thinks there isn’t much left to prove for the young Georgia quarterback.
Smart joined The Pat McAfee Show live in Athens on Friday to talk about the season. Smart said that he’s going to find out a lot on Saturday with Ole Miss coming to town.
Smart credited Beck for being composed and collected since arriving at Georgia as a recruit.
“We’re gonna find out a lot tomorrow because we’re playing a really good opponent. I don’t think Carson has much to prove anymore,” said Smart.” Carson’s a really good football player. His play has spoken for itself. He’s calm, cool, composed. He’s been that way since he got here.”

It’s not easy playing QB in the SEC, but Smart noted how Beck understands the offense and has handled the role well. Lastly, Smart praised Georgia for taking things 1 game at a time.
“I’m not saying it’s easy for him, but he understands what our offensive coordinator and staff is trying to do. He handles that really well and this team’s been really resilient,” said Smart. “They have a lot of pressure on them, everybody talking about the three peat. All they’ve done is focus on one game at a time and that’s the only thing that’s put us in this situation.”
