8/30/24: QB Carson Beck and LB Jalon Walker Post Game vs. Clemson Part I

for Carson back uh the 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 uh what obviously besides confidence uh did you guys make some adjustments at the halftime you felt very good about being able to execute in 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 guys were just trying of you know get warmed into the game and I mean once we got in that second half you know looking at the had 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 deciphered which ways that we wanted to attack him 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 Ty was for loss in the play quarter and you had two sacks on the next Drive what you to make plays like that at both outside linebacker and an inside linebacker on this defense you know just honing in my preparation throughout the week you know like coach smart was saying we do have various packages where I'm at inside backer and there's packages where I'm at outside backer I feel like I had a great week to practice um doing that you know F King on those details of what I really need to do and I felt those 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 ows us to play faster 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 Malachi 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 then I see a k throw the ball and I'm like okay this is a 505050 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 that was insane that was an incredible catch you know and I uh me and malke 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 gonna get one and uh and we did so I'm appreciate it and I'm proud of him you know much love yeah I didn't I didn't even see I didn't see it live I was over there um watching the last Drive now I just hear the whole stadium go crazy so I'm like well someone did something you know crazy so and I see Malachi jump up I'm like oh he definitely he definitely just did something crazy so I'm running out there on the field and I'm looking up at the um the what I don't even know what you call it yeah the Jumbotron 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 we 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 was it better than his interception against I say so I say so yeah was crazy 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 play really well um there is 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 played 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 schan calling the plays and the players actually going out there and doing it and Performing um like I said I absolutely ha playing against our defense every day but you know I think that's what makes our um offense get better and better um but watch them go out there you know it 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 Caron two of your transferred receivers make make some big touchdown catches for you today what's been like working with those guys all camp and 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 to Summer to fall Camp all the countless reps I mean they we we do a lot and I me really there there's a lot of accumulated refs 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 Stills more confidence for me and to them and obviously it's it's a good moment for them I'm so super proud of it let's go to Mark wiser and then Conor Ry up 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 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 during 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
