How many yards does Georgia QB Carson Beck average per game? Exploring his performance

Carson Beck is a two-time national champion with the Georgia Bulldogs and their starting quarterback in the 2024 season. The Mandarin (Jacksonville) product is viewed by scouts as one of the best shot-callers in the country.

Let's look at Beck's average yards per game in his collegiate football career.

How many yards does Carson Beck average per game?

As of Sept. 5, 2024, Carson Beck has played in 26 games for the Georgia Bulldogs. In those games, Beck has passed for 4,705 yards. That means that the future draft pick averages 180.96 passing yards per game.

Beck's numbers are rather impressive, considering that he spent the first two years of his Bulldogs career as the primary backup to Stetson Bennett. Bennett hardly ever took a break from action, so Beck was limited to garbage time minutes early in his collegiate career.

However, it all changed at the start of the 2023 season, as he was declared the team's starting quarterback after the Los Angeles Rams drafted Bennett. In his first season as an undisputed starter, Beck played in 14 games and totaled 3,738 passing yards.

That means Beck averaged 267 passing yards per game for the 2023 season. He has similarly started the 2024 season, putting up 278 passing yards in the first game.

What are Carson Beck's Heisman Trophy odds?

According to Fan Duel, Beck is ranked behind Miami's Cam Ward, Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel, who are all tied with +850 odds. Beck is currently ranked just behind the trio with +900 odds.

There's no need to worry as a Beck fan. The Bulldogs star will have numerous chances to pad his stats in 2024 and rack up big moments to strengthen his Heisman Trophy bid. There are games against Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas this season that could make or mar his candidacy.

The Bulldogs faithful will be rooting for their star quarterback. The last time they had a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender was Stetson Bennett in 2022.
