2 things to go look at, in the Miss State game Welter and Beckwith largely alternated quarters, Welter in the 1st and 3rd, Beckwith in the 2nd and 4th.
That is really really oversimplifying it and you know it. I guess it's easy to revise history and credit whole quarters to your preferred MLB several weeks later after everyone dropped the game from their DVR. Both MLB's (and the whole defense) looked bad until the Florida game, and really the whole defense started playing better then. The offense getting better had a little to do with it too.

Beckwith is playing much better now but to go back to the beginning of the season and imply that things would have been different if he played the whole game against Miss St is just BS.

The outcome likely wouldn't have changed but there was a noticeable difference when he was in the game, particularly in the 2nd quarter when State was up 17-3. Looking at the additional stats, MSU was 5 for 7 on 3rd down conversions in the 1st and 3rd, and 0 for 7 in the 2nd and 4th quarters.
