Carson Beck, Jalon Walker recap dominant Georgia football win over Clemson

please State who you're directing the question to questions Carson back uh coach said you you told him uh before the second half we're going to get a touchdown here coach uh right away just tell me U what obviously besides confidence uh did you guys make some adjustments at the halftime you felt very good about being able to execute the second half yeah I think I think just coming out in the first quarter maybe there's a you know a little bit of nerves you guys are just trying to you know get warmed into the game and I mean once we got in that second half you know looking at the iPad seeing what they were doing against us I mean it was it was everything that you know we saw on film that we watched from last year so you know we just kind of decided which ways that we wanted to attack them and maybe try to be a little bit more aggressive uh coming out of the half and I think we did a really good job of that you know we got on the perimeter had some good perimeter runs and then we able to throw the ball down the field a little bit and that ultimately you know ended up opening things up for us yeah this questions for Jaylen uh back toback tackles for loss in the third quarter of the year had two sacks on the next Drive what allows you to make plays like that at both outside linebacker and inside linebacker on this defense you know just Hing in my preparation throughout the week you know like coach smart was saying we do have various packages where I'm at inside back and there's packages where I'm at outside backer um I feel like I had a great week to practice um doing that you know keying on those details of what I really need to do and I felt those uh they paid off today Carson how did uh how did it feel having coach Smart in your uh ear all game with the uh new heads uh communication in the uh helmet yeah so actually coach Bobo is the one that's um communicating with me um so he I mean he's he's up in the box so he's down there calling the calling the whole entire game um it was definitely different I I liked it a lot personally um there's still some times where you know you look up to the sidelines and you know we're not going you know we're going slow we're not going fast you still look at the signal confirm everything but I definitely think it I definitely think it picks up the pace of the game um it allows us to play faster um on offense play to play this is for both of you with kind of two different perspectives just what was your reaction and if you did see Malai Stark's interception let me tell you about that um so I'm on the field and I'm just you know covering my guy and I see uh K throw the ball and I'm like okay this is a 50/50 ball with Malachi and the receiver and I looked and I seen him twist and catch that ball and I just took off in a spread that's probably like my fastest GPS time I that was insane that was an incredible catch you know and I uh me and Mal had a moment before then and we uh we told each other I said he's going to get one and I told him I'm going to get one and uh and we did so I'm appreciate it and I'm proud of him you know much much love yeah I didn't I didn't even I didn't see it live I was over there um watching the last drive and I just hear the whole stadium go crazy so I'm like well someone did something you know crazy so I I see Malachi jump up I'm like oh he definitely he definitely just did something crazy so I'm running out down the field I'm looking up at the um the what I don't know what you call it yeah the jumbo TR the circle at the top and I'm looking up at it and Tate's right next to me he's looking up at it too and he jumps up he catches it me and Tate like look right at each other lock eyes you're like oh my gosh it's it's crazy what he's able to do you know um he's very talented so I'm very proud of him was it better than his interception against Oregon I say so I say so yeah was crazy Emily Carson at the beginning of the week you were asked what you remember most about the last time you guys played each other and you said it was 10 to three and that the defenses played really well um there's a similarity even though these teams are very different now the fact that your defense didn't allow any touchdowns today so only three points again I love your smile what can you say about how they play today yeah well I I have to play against our defense every single day and I don't enjoy it very much either um so they they're phenomenal the things that you know they're able to do and the multitude of defense that they're able to play I mean that's a credit to like their Intelligence on the defensive side of the ball and then not only that but going out there and executing the plan and Coach Schumer calling the plays and the players actually going out there and doing and Performing um like I said I I absolutely hate playing against our defense every day but you know I think that's what makes our um offense get better and better um but to watch them go out there you know makes our job a little bit easier you know we have good field position um and we're really not too worried about the other team scoring car two of the your transfer receivers make make some big touchdown catches forward today what like work those guys call Camp just a contribution today yeah absolutely I think I think that wide receiver room has so much depth and I've been saying this but you know everyone wants to say that guys left and there's no talent in there but there there's so much talent um and we have so much confidence in every single guy that goes out there and steps out there on the field from you look back to Spring ball just summer to fall Camp all the countless reps I mean they we we do a lot and I mean really there there's a lot of accumulated reps with those guys and a lot of confidence that I have in them so for them to come out you know first game and be able to make some plays um that it those more confidence for me and to them and obviously it's it's a good moment for them so super proud of them let's go to Mark wiser and then Conor rally up here Carson you talked this offseason about kind of your motivation to come back to Georgia after the last game you played here wonder what it was like to walk off the field with a you know big win for Georgia today and you know do you think that you saw things from this team that think you know you might be able to come back here a couple more times yeah no um definitely a different feeling watch walking off the field uh this time compared to the last time uh we were in the stadium um I mean I'm just super proud of this team I think I think the preparation that went into this game you could see from I mean we started last Thursday prep for Clemson you could see the sense of urgency pick up you could see the attention to detail um of guys you know locked in focused on the plan and what they needed to do and uh just flying around or in practice and we had some really good practices leading up to that so I think for us if we can just be consistent in that and each week have that same exact approach then you know we'll have the success that we need to have to get back here yeah the first third down conversion you had to inwards third and 10 you guys up uh in the third quarter 13 to three I think can you just walk me through what you saw in that play and firing that pass in there uh yeah so they I mean um they played a very similar coverage on a couple third Downs in the game um so coach Bubba went to a play that um you know he's on a in breing route um I mean he did a great job of breaking the corner off coming back negative um underneath the linebacker which I mean that first and foremost I I have to have a lot of trust in him that he's going to run the route right that he's going to win where I can let it go on time um and that that comes with reps and uh continuously you know doing it over and over again but no I think that was a huge play for us in the game and really catapulted us um as an offense especially at third and long you know it definitely changes the momentum Teran yeah this is for both players to win 40 straight regular season games that means you guys have got to be very focused you have a lot of different situations but results has been the same for each of you guys what do you attribute that to why you guys been able to kind of just keep that FOC Focus um our culture being our culture what they instill in us at the University of Georgia um being moment Le doing Moment by moment um we focus on each game individually we we don't skip ahead in the season we don't backtrack we don't do anything we be where our feet is planed and I feel like we do a great job of keeping that the main thing main thing and uh you know next week we go into our next game and we'll we'll do so again for that game let's go toward the back right here and then uh Carson what do you think of Nate Fraser's performance today obviously theyig game from him yeah I think um I think he did a great job you know I think it's super cool opportunity for him obviously he he came here in the summer so he's only he's only been in Athens for two three months which is crazy to me but we have a lot of confidence in him um you know we were we're able to see what he could do in practice and um obviously he translated that to the game and that's usually how it works that that running back room had a huge day you know him you know cash is someone that you haven't seen much of in the past that you know really stepped up for us um today as well so you know those guys being able to step into their roles um you know I'm excited to see what they're able to do as the season goes on time for just a couple more let's go to Brooks Austin yeah Carson we talk about Nate right there next to you with having a young player that hasn't been there very long next year what was the communication like between you and him pretty much all day I IM yeah I mean there was a couple guys that were out there for the first time um starting or I mean I mean you could say starting not starting but there's a couple guys out there um playing for the first time in a in a Georgia uniform so for me uh you know being being a starter last year coming back and being my second year just communicating those guys like lean on me like if if you know there's there's issue or problem out on the field if you don't know something if you need help like come to me you know I um I have confidence in uh understanding our game plan what we need to do um so I'm going to handle what I need to handle and that's going to get done but if you need help like come to me I can I can manage that and I think that's something that I really been trying to do as you know I've I've stepped into my second year okay thank you everyone and happy Labor Day thank you
