Stetson Bennett tops list of Georgia football X-factors in CFP Championship Game against Alabama
ATHENS — Georgia coach Kirby Smart stiff-armed the notion that Monday night’s CFP Championship Game is a matchup of him against Alabama coach Nick Saban.

Run the 🏈 , stay out of that zone coverage we tried last time. Gata, to late to try anything else, we either do it or don't.
Not doing what we do best on defense in the first game against Bama is a mystery! Game 15 is not the time for wholesale changes.
Get back to what worked all season, get a decisive win, and let Bama fans open their bag of excuses that is always close at hand after a loss.
Elite QBs have a keen sense of anticipation. They know the instant a ball must come out before a window closes. Often in the SEC, a receiver is covered, then open for an instant before that window quickly closes.
Elite QBs can also anticipate the moment they must tuck and run to maximize the potential of a busted play.
Stets has made some elite throws and elite decisions running the ball this year. It’s great having elite moments, but we need Stets to have an elite game!
Actually, as Monken and others have explained, I’d say disguised coverages and bad decisions accounted for 2 of Bennett’s 5 interceptions against Alabama in the last two meetings. 😉
All good x-factors in the article.
I would add, George Pickens. He was coming off of Cov1d in the Orange bowl. Hopefully, he's good to go. If Pickens is well enough to do George Pickens things, he could be the biggest x-factor in the game.
My x-factor is the Dawgs going tempo. Dangerous against Bama, but we have all the horses and depth to do it. Also, we have the defense to cover a few 3 and outs. Wear them out early and ground and pound them on the way home.
