Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck looked sharp in his Miami Hurricanes debut. Beck led the Hurricanes on a fourth-quarter game-winning drive to help Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24.
Beck showed no signs of his elbow injury, which he suffered in Georgia's SEC championship win. The senior quarterback helped Miami defeat a Notre Dame team that eliminated Georgia from the College Football Playoff and advanced to the national championship last season.
Beck completed 20 of 30 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns. One of his passes could end up as one of the top highlights of the entire college football season due to the incredible one-handed catch made by receiver CJ Daniels.
Commentator Greg McElroy, a former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback, said Beck looked like the "2023 version" of himself. What exactly is the 2023 version of Carson Beck ?
In 2023, Beck completed more than 72% of his passes and threw for 24 touchdowns and six interceptions as Georgia went 13-1 and made an SEC championship appearance. Beck was more efficient and made fewer mistakes in 2023 when compared to last season. In 2024, Beck did not complete quite as many passes (64.7%) and threw 12 interceptions, but Georgia still won an SEC championship.
Beck's performance, combined with the talent Miami has, means the Hurricanes should make an ACC championship run this year.
Former Georgia Bulldogs and the rest of the college football world weighed in after Carson Beck's impressive debut with Miami. It is really early, but there's a shot Georgia could play Miami in the playoff. That would be something!

This could have easily been intercepted and changed how we viewed Beck's performance.
Miami is Beck?
Would Georgia have beat Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl with Beck?
We'll never know. You have to acknowledge that the 2025 Notre Dame team is different than the 2024 version.
