ATHENS — Georgia football has the best walk-on story in recent college football history, and as Kirby Smart would say, some are “missing the window.”

"Would you have him answer the question; "...well we didn't trust Bennett to protect the ball so we ran it."? And then potentially hand the ball to Bennett again next week against Auburn?"
That is the very question I almost posted to you, hence my point about him saying what he wanted folks to hear. He's not going to say," I really didn't want to give Stetson the chance to throw away the game when we didn't have to throw it to win."
Of course that makes sense. I (and others) just know Kirby's conservative nature.
He got the RB's some reps and got the run game going much better than in previous games and that was needed. THey needed it. He ran the 4 horsemen when he could have just put Edwards in there an not risked getting any of our backs hurt, but he knew they needed it.
I just would have liked to have seen Robinson, Ladd, Adonai, WAshington, and even Burton get a few snags to continue building their confidence, THere were just risk involved , some perhaps to injury, but the main one IMHO was it was the only chance the Razorbacks had of turning the game around with a pick 6 or two.
Fair point and I see where you are coming from but I lean towards believing the statement he made. Bennett was 3 for 4 in the second half with two additional pass attempts that resulted in no play due to pass interference. So Bennett let it fly 6 times in the second half.
Bennett is the second best QB on the GA team right now. Every decision Kirby made regarding Bennett was spot on, and I agreed with every time. I keep telling the naysayers....."If you think you know better and can do a better job than Kirby, why don't you go apply for the head coaching job at UGA?" Then come back and let us know how it went.
Bennett has been playing well and really should have the backing of Dawg fans. Booing the guy was pretty pathetic, showed a lack of class and zero respect for the guy. I hope he blows the doors off Auburn on Saturday. He may end up being 'the guy' the rest of the way.
I didn’t hear any boos where we were sitting for the UAB game.
Yeah, I didn't either.
