Stetson Bennett

An uncertain future when it comes to football. Sure, Georgia's quarterback led the Bulldogs to back-to-back championships for the first time since Alabama did ...

Bennett has two national titles, but can that transfer to career in the NFL? "He knew what was coming and he set the guy up. But what he lacks in brawn he appears to make up for elsewhere. A national championship eluded Stafford at Georgia, but he was the No. He ran for a touchdown because he's got a tackle that's like a tight end out there in Broderick. "He did a change of protection and made an elite throw. And what did he do with it? And he smoked that cigar like a seasoned pro as confetti fell from the roof and Georgia backers yelled their approval. "I don't know – hard worker, pretty good at football, smart. It’s uncertain how early his name will be called – assuming it will be called sometime during the three-day draft April 27-29 – but more predictable is what his doubters will say. He waited four long years. He was about to transfer to the University of Louisiana but thought better of it, and waited for his chance in Athens, Georgia.

Luke Bennett is the younger brother of one of the most popular and accomplished college football players in the country, Stetson Bennett.

Stetson and Luke's grandfather was Buddy Bennett, a quarterback for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks in the late 1950s.

In the first half, Bennett became the first player in Georgia’s lengthy history to rack up 4,000 total yards of offense over his career with plenty of help from Bowers. Bowers, a 6-foot-4 multi-sport athlete with freakish speed for his size, has been a spectacular success since arriving at Georgia in 2021. “I think he goes down as the top,” said receiver Ladd McConkey, who had five catches for 88 yards and two TDs. McCarron as the only quarterbacks to lead their teams to back-to-back national championships in the 21st century when Georgia became just the fourth team to repeat since 1980. “Probably had the best game of his career, in my opinion,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. Bowers finished with seven catches for 152 yards from Bennett, including a 22-yard touchdown catch that firmly shut the door on the Horned Frogs in the third quarter of this epic blowout.

He was the No. He also added three carries for 39 yards and an additional two scores. Hitting on 65.7% of his passes, he also added 14 rushing touchdowns. That's the coolest thing, because this team loves each other. He schemed up a run, ran a mid-line run which nobody runs. "He saw the max blitz and he beat the max blitz and ran for a first down in one of the biggest plays of the game which takes a phenomenal athlete,” Smart said after the game.

The quarterback's posts give a glimpse into what his football life might've been like had he not persevered at Georgia.

The Bulldogs stepped on the gas and never looked back, downing upstart TCU, 65–7. The primary focus of the posts that started to go viral was the quarterback tweeting out offers from programs that he received when first trying to get recruited to play in college. Rather than attend Columbia or Middle Tennessee, Bennett opted to walk on at Georgia, not once but twice.

The Bulldogs' blowout victory against TCU didn't diminish the Playoff. It simply proved the team's A-game is a mile ahead of everyone else's.

And we have a saying around our place: We eat off the floor. The College Football Playoff championship game was a complete dud, as the Horned Frogs’ fairy-tale season crashed and burned at the feet of a brutal opponent. Replacing Bennett will be a huge task, but the pipeline of talent never runs dry in Athens. Poor TCU was treated to Georgia’s bounce-back performance and was overwhelmed from the start. The Frogs became Georgia’s 15th victim in an undefeated season, and only two of those 15 games were close: the comeback at Missouri in October and “Some of the checks [audibles] he made, some of the decisions he made, just really elite,” Smart said. Could Georgia actually repeat after sending a flotilla of talent to the pros? And as coach Kirby Smart declared after this 65–7 trucking of TCU—the biggest rout in the history of either the CFP or BCS—this was his finest performance. They were a magnificent collection of athletes, huge and fast, and they were serious about honing their craft. The guy nicknamed “The Mailman” delivered to a whole lot of people.
