ATHENS — Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is expected to start at Auburn after taking the vast majority of first-team offensive reps this week with JT Daniels recovering from a strained lat muscle.

After reading this I guess there is no reason for the Dawgs to even suit up. LOL!!!!
Everyone is clamoring for JT - he has been injured for more games than hes started in college. Send in the mailman!
The Dawgs D will just need to do their thing. Keep getting 3 downs and out. Which will in turn gas the Warped Eagles D by keeping them on the field to much. Dawgs Oline needs to bully the line of scrimmage making holes for our group of very talented RBs ( each bring their own style of run, and each are hungry to showcase their skills) then Stets make the passes that he’s good at making within his skill set not to mention He has good wheels. Moral of the story is our Defense is Much better than Theirs giving us more time of possession. I’m confident that Kirby has lectured Stets heavily about ball protection. Plus and this is a Big PLUS Stets has had Both many more practice reps and real game reps which I feel confident has sharpened his skills. Is Stets better than JT ?? Answer No. But he’s a pretty good QB if he can stop the bad decisions he’s sprinkled in his game at times. He’s had allot of time to look at His Self on film and get advice from JT. NO sarcasm on my part but if the Dawgs can’t get this W, In Spite of injuries then perhaps their not the championship team we all hope for. Championship teams find ways to adapt to adverse situations, including injuries. I Believe this Dawgs team will to.
Yep, such is football - let's just assume it is Bennett starting until JT is clearly better. In any case, Bennett's ability to scramble and pick up occasional first downs is huge vs a tough defense like Auburn's. Points are going to be tough to come by today, and the Dawgs offense will need to be scrappy at times.
We've all had a shot at UGA vs Auburn outcome.....time for action and results. We will know how we performed as armchair prognosticators around 7pm tonight ...or earlier. GO DAWGS!!!
Is JT really as banged up as it seems, or are we trying to limit the amount of game tape on him while also giving Bennett, who considered leaving UGA again, some playing time? Granted, it would seem near-ludicrous to hold JT back if he isn't really hurt, but it just makes me wonder.
Alright, lets gata.....
