Since the College Football Playoff was implemented in 2014, Alabama has established itself as an NCAA powerhouse (seven appearances, five championship games, and three national titles). He faces that complicated panorama Stetson Bennett, who is shaping up to be Georgia’s starter for the college football Championship Game.
Should Kirby Smart confirm that Bennett will be the starter for the Bulldogs for the final game of the NCAA campaign, the 23-year-old QB will have the responsibility of being the ideal complement to the best defense of the nation.
What’s more, If Bennett gets Georgia to consecrate herself for the sixth time in history, The first since 1980, the quarterback will culminate one of the most unusual seasons for a quarterback in the NCAA and, why not, increase his bonuses for the draft.
Bennett, from the bench to the title fight
Stetson Bennett’s passage through Georgia can be summed up as eternal replacement. Since 2017, when he arrived at the university, he served as a substitute for Jake Fromm, and in 2020 he tasted the honeys of ownership only to be relegated to the bench before the emergence of JT Daniels.
This season was not much different and he started the season behind Daniels. However, an injury to the former USC QB opened the door for Bennett, who took the Georgia start in Week 2 and led the Bulldogs to the SEC championship, which they lost to Alabama.
With the ticket to the CFP as the third best team in the United States, Bennett racked up 313 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-11 win over Michigan, duel corresponding to the Orange Bowl, one of the semifinals of the NCAA postseason.
In his only year as a starter, Bennett had 2,325 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven turnovers.
