Miami quarterback Carson Beck declined to mention Georgia by name after the Hurricanes advanced in the College Football Playoff to the Fiesta Bowl. Yet, Beck’s facial expression said it all when asked about Miami’s next opponent, indicating that the quarterback would not mind a potential rematch against his former team.
During a postgame interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, Beck admitted to looking ahead at the possible matchup in the bracket.
“When you look at the College Football Playoff bracket (when it) came out, I mean, it’s hard not to look forward to the games,” Beck admitted during the December 31, 2025, interview. “You look at the bracket. You look at the way that things could pan out.
“And now obviously, you know, having beat Texas A&M and now having beat Ohio State and earning the right to go play out in Arizona in the semifinals. It’s hard not to look forward to that and see the two teams that we could end up playing,” Beck continued.
“So, I’m super excited for this team and the opportunity to play in the semifinals and whichever team is able to win that game, we’ll go in and prepare and we’ll make the most of it.”
