Quarterback Carson Beck and place-kicker Peyton Woodring have earned Southeastern Conference weekly honors following Georgia’s win over No. 14 Clemson, according to a league announcement Monday.
Beck, a junior from Jacksonville, Florida, was named the Co-Offensive Player of the Week alongside Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia while Woodring, a native of Lafayette, Lousiana, shared Special Teams Player of the Week accolades with Oklahoma PK Tyler Keltner.
Beck connected on 23 of 33 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns during the Dawgs’ 34-3 win. He hit nine different targets, including three newcomers, and had eight completions and two touchdowns during limited time in the fourth quarter. Beck added a 13-yard run to help the Dawgs pile up 447 total yards and have no turnovers.
Woodring tallied 10 points, opening the scoring with a 30-yard field goal in the first quarter. He returned to drill a career-long 55 yarder to give the Dawgs a 6-0 edge headed into halftime. This marked the longest field goal for Georgia since All-American Rodrigo Blankenship connected on a 55 yarder versus Oklahoma in the 2018 Rose Bowl. Woodring also handled kickoffs for Georgia.
