INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Stetson Bennett could only think of one thing.
One goal. One message.
I cannot be responsible for costing Georgia its first national championship in 41 years.
What a miserable thing to think, right? There he was, Georgia’s walk-on quarterback-turned-starter, standing on the sideline with such an awful mantra running through his mind. How he got to that point involves one of the wildest plays you’ll see in a football game.
In the second half of a tight game with the national championship on the line, Bennett raced away from pressure and, while being hit, heaved a pass into the air for what appeared to be an incompletion.
