Carson Beck perfectly trolled the SEC after leading Miami to a 31-27 College Football Playoff Semifinal, Fiesta Bowl win over Mississippi on Thursday night. Mississippi was the last SEC team remaining in the CFP.
Beck posted a picture of himself scoring the game-winning touchdown to his Instagram account with the caption "It just means more. #FiestaBowlChamps." Beck led Miami to two fourth-quarter scoring drives to give the Hurricanes the lead and eventually the victory.
Beck has been the recipient of an infinite amount of vitriol from SEC fans and particularly those of Georgia. Miami has defeated three SEC teams this season with Beck at QB. Miami beat Florida 26-7 in the regular season and Texas A&M 10-3 in the first round of the CFP, in addition to the victory over Mississippi.
With all the criticism of Beck, he now has 36 wins and five losses as a starter and 18 victories and three defeats against ranked teams. Beck has continually proven he is a winner throughout his collegiate career.

More than a game manager
After being a game manager in the first two games, Beck did exactly what he was brought to Miami to do in the fourth quarter. Beck has eight completions in 13 attempts for 93 yards and one touchdown and the game-winning three-yard TD run with 18 seconds left in the game.
Beck finished the Fiesta Bowl, CFP semifinal with 23 completions in 37 attempts for 268 yards, two TDs and one interception and the game-winning rushing TD. The one interception Beck "threw" was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
In a game full of mistakes by Miami, Beck made very few. Take away completing one pass in six attempts in the third quarter and the completion percentage by Beck was 70.9 percent against Mississippi. The ultimate troll for Beck and Miami was their win, advancing them to the CFP National Championship game at home.
