ATLANTA — Stetson Bennett raised both arms in the air, clenched his fists and then embraced his coach, Kirby Smart.
This one felt good: his first SEC championship as Georgia’s starting quarterback— and, perhaps, as a Heisman Trophy finalist? Don’t laugh!
Bennett mirrors this Bulldogs team as a whole: Solidly consistent, reliable, not too flashy but impressive, a few hiccups but none too troubling.
This is Georgia. This is Bennett. It has been this way for two years now, an incredible run of 31 wins in a 32-game span. The latest on Saturday—a 50–30 drubbing of LSU—solidified the Bulldogs as the country’s top-ranked football team.
