While it always felt like the Georgia QB competition was Carson Beck's to lose, he apparently showed enough in a lackluster scrimmage (according to Kirby) for Kirby Smart to officially name him QB1 heading into the season.
A year after Stetson Bennett represented UGA as a finalist at The Heisman Trophy ceremony, Andy and Randy discuss if Carson Beck could play his way to becoming an invitee to that evening this season.
Numbers-wise, probably. I think Georgia is going to throw the ball more," says Randy McMichael. "You have the best TE in the country, skill at the receiver position. If he plays the way I think he can play, Georgia will be defeated and he'll be first round quarterback."
Carson Beck beat out Brock Vandagriff in the QB competition this season, although both are likely to see playing time early in the season before UGA enters SEC conference play.
