It’s easier to tell an athlete to have a short memory, to forget that godawful last play or that embarrassing last loss, than it is to actually do it. Especially when there’s a national championship on the line.
Unless you’re Stetson Bennett IV, that is.
Bennett shook off a fumble at the start of the fourth quarter that could have doomed Georgia’s chances for its first national title in 40-plus years, uncorking a 40-yard TD pass on the very next drive.
"There was going to be no way I was going to let a turnover like that stop us from winning a national championship," said Bennett, who was named the offensive player of the game.
