00:00But the quarterback that helped his cause the best was Carson Beck out of Miami coach, over 200 yards passing, clean with the football, two big touchdown passes en route to the 27-24 win over top-ranked Notre Dame.
00:14Carson Beck sits at plus 950 right behind Garrett Nussmeyer from LSU. Carson Beck has the potential to challenge for a Heisman this year.
00:24No, because it is a publicity trophy. Who gets the right publicity at the right time, the right stats, the right team that wins a lot, the big plays, several big plays, and it's going to change throughout the season.
00:39But right now, you've got Carson Beck at Miami beat Notre Dame defending, well, he played in the national championship last year in a game they were just a tad underdog, and he played with poise.
00:51He played like an old Georgia quarterback when they could play defense and run the football, and a quarterback could manage their offense.
00:59If there's any knock on Carson Beck winning the Heisman, is that they won't, I mean, he'll manage it.
01:05He won't look very, he won't look like Cam Ward. He won't look like Lenora Sellers.
01:10What he'll do is just be poised. He's a battle-tested veteran. He'll make sure they don't lose games they should win.
01:18I like that part. He caught a lot of flack last year at Georgia, but if you go back and look, they didn't run the ball very well, and they weren't always dominating teams, so he was throwing it when he shouldn't have been throwing it and trying to catch up when you wouldn't want to have to catch up.
01:33So he's in a good situation. As long as they keep winning, that's his best chance, because I think he's an NFL talent that's not a flashy quarterback.
01:42And so many of these guys that are NFL guys, they're not necessarily the flashiest guys, because we all want to see the guys that can run like a gazelle and throw it.
01:51We all want to see that guy, not always the best NFL player, not always the best Heisman candidate.
01:57I was very impressed as well with the offensive line protecting Carson Beck, especially in third-down situations.
02:03You and I had broken it down how Miami had the number-one-ranked third-down offense all of last year with Cam Ward.
02:10He was not even touched basically until the fourth quarter against his matchup with the front seven of Notre Dame.
02:17They play like that from an offensive line perspective.
02:20Carson Beck is going to put up numbers throughout the ACC schedule.
02:24We'll see how it plays out.
02:25Miami does face off against Bethune-Cookman this coming Saturday.
02:30Their huge favorites should roll to a 2-0 record in 2025.
