If you want to understand Stetson Bennett’s career, look no further than his final pass between the hedges at Sanford Stadium in the fourth quarter of Georgia’s rivalry game against Georgia Tech last Saturday. Buried deep in his own territory, Bennett takes the snap, drops back into the pocket — way back, within a step of his own goal line — and then surveys the field.
He’s got time back there, so much time, enough time to start writing Christmas cards. He spots running back Kenny McIntosh downfield on a wheel route, then drops the pass right into McIntosh’s arms.
