Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck is coming off a four-interception performance in a loss to Louisville
Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck is coming off his worst game of the season.
He was picked off four times in a loss to the Louisville Cardinals last week. It was the Hurricanes' first loss, dropping them from No. 2 to No. 9 in the Top 25. Beck's last interception drew scrutiny because many felt he threw receiver Elijah London under the bus during the postgame.
Many felt he blamed the errant throw on London running the wrong route. Beck clarified his remarks earlier this week while speaking with the media.
"I was never throwing him under the bus," Beck said. "Someone asked the question. I was asked what happened on the last play, and I think if you go watch the whole clip of what happened, I mean you can you can go look at what I said. But again, I mean the interception is on me, and again I'm ultimately the guy with the ball in his hands at the end, right, so I have to take accountability for that, but again, when I think I think people can take things out of context sometimes, and that's not at all what I was doing."
The Hurricanes are still in the driver's seat to make the College Football Playoff. They face no ranked opponents the remainder of the season.
Still, Beck knows they can't afford to play like last Saturday again.
"We didn't play well," Beck said. "We didn't execute our plan. And there's a lot that we can be better at, you know. We've had some really, really good practices this week. Really honed in and focused on some of those little mistakes and things that we can fix. And again, we're we've moved on from last week. We're three practices in and focusing on prep for Stanford. So, again, just trying to continue to get better and go 1-0 each week."
