Robert Littal, who writes for Black Sports Online, linked Carson Beck’s playoff surge to a turning point in his life that happened earlier this year. The analyst posted about Beck’s transformation after the Miami quarterback beat Ole Miss on Thursday.
Beck dove into the end zone from three yards out as time expired, finishing off a 31-27 victory that sends the Hurricanes to play for a national title.
Littal posted on X, suggesting that Beck improved once he ended things with his girlfriend, Hanna Cavinder.
“Bro got rid of that Cavinder twin and turned into playoff Eli Manning,” Littal tweeted on Thursday.

The pair broke up in spring 2025 following a relationship that went south publicly. Beck transferred from Georgia to Coral Gables, and reports surfaced that Cavinder influenced that decision. They stopped talking months before kickoff, according to ESPN’s Andrea Adelson.
Hanna Cavinder and her twin sister Haley are former basketball players for the Hurricanes. Haley is dating Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson.

Hanna Cavinder skipped any posts about Carson Beck’s big moment on Thursday. She dropped workout selfies and swimming pool shots while her ex played his way into the championship. Meanwhile, her sister Haley spent Thursday with Jake Ferguson, Dallas’ tight end, mixing beach time and fitness content as they prepare for their upcoming marriage.
Hanna Cavinder unloaded on Beck back in April while talking to Kai Trump, who golfs at Miami. The video got deleted but had already blown up online.
“He has an ego,” Cavinder said, via Fox News. “He wanted people to stop and take a picture. He would, like, flip off people at the bar, and I’d be embarrassed.
“So I broke up with him, and all this cheating (expletive) came out. I had no idea. I didn’t break up with him because he cheated. I broke up with him because of like who he was.”
Carson Beck finally responded to the breakup drama in October while speaking with ESPN’s Andrea Adelson. He said that going through a split and everything online made it tougher, but he didn’t get into details about their relationship ending.
