With a current record of six wins and one loss, the Georgia Bulldogs are serious contenders in NCAAF. However, coach Kirby Smart believes his players, particularly QB Carson Beck, can perform even better. Regarding this situation, Smart conveyed a clear message.
The Bulldogs are coming off a bye week before facing Florida, and in their last outing, they decisively defeated the Texas Longhorns, handing head coach Steve Sarkisian’s team their first loss of the season.
Regarding his players, Coach Smart made statements to 247 Sports, emphasizing the urgent need to develop their talent, particularly focusing on what quarterback Carson Beck can bring to the team: “If you ask a kid that, they’re going to say that he does need to play better,” the HC stated.
“We need to coach better, we need to execute better, we need the people around him to play better. That’s the ownership that a quarterback takes, and I wouldn’t expect him to answer any questions like that any other way,” Smart finally concluded.
