A balanced scheme after UCL surgery has helped the Georgia transfer regain confidence.

Overview

  • Miami is unbeaten through four games, with Beck completing 73.2% of his passes for 972 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions, and the Hurricanes ranked No. 3 entering a game against No. 18 Florida State.
  • FanDuel’s betting board, as reported, now lists Beck as the Heisman Trophy favorite at +750, ahead of Oklahoma’s John Mateer.
  • Beck had UCL surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache and completed a difficult rehab before being cleared as Miami’s starter.
  • Miami’s staff credits a strong line, effective run game and defense for easing his load, and Mario Cristobal praised him as a natural leader and competitor.
  • ESPN scouts say improved pocket efficiency and chemistry have revived his draft buzz, and Beck told ESPN his April breakup with Hanna Cavinder was difficult under public scrutiny.
