"$4,000,000 bust. Disgraceful": Carson Beck flamed by fans for throwing INT during Miami-Florida showdown

College football fans teed off on Miami quarterback Carson Beck after throwing an interception in the third quarter of the Hurricanes' game against Florida on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

While highly favored Miami is holding on to a 13-7 lead, Beck threw a pass on the Florida 48-yard line. However, his pass was intercepted by Gators defender Cormani McClain at the 3:15 mark of the third quarter.

That led to fans criticizing the Hurricanes' signal-caller on X. A football enthusiast called him a bust with that errant throw.

Other fans were utterly disappointed with the play.

However, other users weren't surprised by Beck throwing a costly interception in a crucial game.

Fortunately for Miami, Florida failed to capitalize on the miscue and committed a turnover in the next play. Gators quarterback DJ Lagway threw a two-yard pass on 4th-and-3 at the Miami 33 and ended up a yard short of a first down at the start of the fourth quarter.

The Hurricanes regained possession afterwards and Dylan Joyce punted for 50 yards. Miami eventually won the game 26-7, improving to 4-0 this season.

Miami QB Carson Beck plays his worst game of the season

Miami quarterback Carson Beck played his worst game of the season, completing 17 of 30 passes for 160 yards. He failed to score a passing touchdown for the first time this season and recorded a pick for the second consecutive game.

The Georgia transfer also surrendered a sack and produced negative rushing yardage (-7 yards) in two carries for the Hurricanes, who joined Georgia Tech in the ACC as the teams with a 4-0 record.

Beck improved to 3-0 all-time against Florida, joining fellow former Georgia QBs Jake Fromm and Aaron Murray in this achievement.

The Miami QB gave his props to the Gators' defense for giving him a hard time facilitating the football all game long.

“Feels really, really good,” Beck said. “I grew up a Florida fan but now I've been to two schools that Florida is a huge rival of, so I'm not the biggest fan of the Gators anymore. Although not a fan, I have the utmost respect for them. That defense is really good.”

Despite his passing issues, Beck and Miami secured the win thanks to their 1-2 running back combo of Mark Fletcher Jr and CharMar Brown. Fletcher and Brown combined for 196 yards in 42 carries and scored three rushing TDs to complete the rout.

Kicker Carter Davis was perfect in two field-goal attempts, including a 53-yard connection and two extra point conversions.

Miami is set to have a one-week break and will return on Oct. 4 to take on unbeaten Florida State (3-0) in an ACC clash.
