Georgia football podcast: Carson Beck shares candid comments about early setbacks at UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has been on quite a journey during his three years with the Bulldogs. It started in 2020, when his first spring practice was canceled and his freshmen season was thrown into chaos due to the corona virus outbreak. It continued in 2021, when Beck thought he might have a chance to start a Week Two game vs. UAB, but instead saw Stetson Bennett step into that opportunity and begin what turned out to be a historic career. And now it continues still, with Beck possibly poised to finally emerge as UGA’s starting quarterback this fall.

I’ll share on today’s show some what Beck had to say about some of those early moments in his career on a podcast called Footballville, and discuss why those early setbacks might’ve helped lay the foundation for success this season.

20-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including reaction to ESPN’s re-release of its preseason top 25 rankings.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and share the Gator Hater Countdown.
