It only took Georgia two plays from scrimmage to take an early 7-0 lead over UAB at Sanford Stadium. Just minutes before that play, most Georgia fans were worried about who would start at quarterback with JT Daniels missing Saturday’s game because of a reported oblique injury.
It was senior Stetson Bennett, the guy who led Georgia to four wins last year, that got the call to start. Redshirt freshman Carson Beck was in contention and ended up playing a few drives later in the game. Bennett, also known as “the mailman,” stepped up by coming through early and often with explosive passing plays all day.
