Kirby Smart supports Carson Beck as Georgia's starting quarterback despite recent criticism

Georgia's football team, ranked No. 12, recently lost to No. 11 Ole Miss, dropping them from the College Football Playoff picture. Quarterback Carson Beck has faced criticism for his performance, leading the team to score only 10 points in the loss. Despite calls for a quarterback change, head coach Kirby Smart confirmed Beck will remain the starter. Smart emphasized Beck's competence and understanding of the team's system, dismissing the idea of benching him. Beck's statistics show a decline this season, with 17 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Smart plans to give him a chance to improve, as the team prepares to face No. 7 Tennessee in a crucial game.
