JUST IN: Carson Beck, Georgia offense Prepare for life change story. ‘before playing Alabama……
Being the Bulldogs’ quarterback, Carson Beck has been the object of much of the finger-pointing for those shortcomings. So has offensive coordinator Mike Bobo. Whether either deserves that is a matter of debate.
“We have a really good offense, we have people around them, and we’ve got a good quarterback,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart contended last week. “We’ve just got to go out and execute. … Clean up what you do, do it at a higher rate, make good decisions, communicate better.”
Starting faster would be good, too, Smart added. An issue at times last year, slow starts have plagued Georgia in their two games of note this year. In their 13-12 win over Kentucky Sept. 14, the Bulldogs had only 63 yards offense at the half. Beck accounted for 32 of that on 5-of-11 passing. They had three first downs. They trailed 6-3.
Having led Clemson only 6-0 at halftime of the season opener means the Bulldogs are averaging 4.5 first-half points against FBS competition this season
