Carson Beck validates confidence in Georgia QB depth, lights up Vanderbilt in fourth quarter

ATHENS — Sixth-year senior Stetson Bennett is the solid No. 1 at quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs — make no mistake about that.

But Kirby Smart has parroted his confidence in the crowded Georgia quarterbacks room throughout the offseason and into the 2022 campaign, and Carson Beck showed why on Saturday.

Beck, the No. 2 quarterback, came on in relief in the fourth quarter of the 55-0 win over Vanderbilt at Sanford Stadium and looked sharp.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Beck third-year sophomore from Jacksonville, was 8-of-11 passing for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns and scrambled for a 13-yard carry.

Bennett had also looked good against the Commodores, enjoying one of his best outings by going 24-of-30 passing for 289 yards passing along with a 9-yard scramble among his six carries.
