Well I don’t know what Stets plans are. Only he and God know that as at the time of this interview his own father didn’t even know. But what ever he does I wish him the Very best. No he didn’t win this game all by himself and he said so himself giving repeated credit to his teammates on both sides of the ball. Just like he didn’t lose the SECCG by himself either.
This article is sad but you have to wonder - if we had gone the other route and treated Stetson Bennett as a feel good story, would he have elevated his game to produce the performances he gave in the Orange Bowl and National Championship? He only had one wacky throw against Michigan and there was the "fumble" if you want to call it that in the Title Game, but besides that he played some really disciplined football. Maybe he would have done it anyway, which if that's the case makes all of this tragic. But if we gave him bulletin board material to get the job done, "hate feeds the dawg" and all that, maybe the ends justify the means? Probably not but I'm glad Stetson was able to prove us wrong, if not for anyone else than for himself.
As far as his legacy at UGA it is and Should be HUGE !! No walk on has ever even started in a Natty less alone Help to win it. Kirby and his coaching staff made the decision to go with Stets and in the end it paid off yielding UGA the first Natty trophy in 41 years !!
Lastly if Brock and Gunner Really Love UGA AND Believe in themselves they’ll stay and compete for the job. I seriously doubt that Kirby Smart will or would tell Stets in private or public OK you automatically have the job. That’s just not in line at all with Kirby’s character. We’ve all seen him bench some Really good players at times when he thought they weren’t taking on the challenge. Some have left because they couldn’t or wouldn’t rise to the challenge .
Where did you get this info. ? You are assuming this. Kirby will never “guarantee” a player even playing time less alone a starting position. They must earn it. And even though as you said there’s a Reason there’s not a whiff of interest from the NFL ( which really is a bit premature to say) there was a Reason that Kirby and Monken decided to play him over JT to.
Great article! Always important to remember what these kids have endured both mentally and physically!! SBIV has made the DawgNation proud! Will always be a DGD!
If Stetson returns he will be a distraction.
You mean like John Elway? I remember him walking away on top. I guess he never played or loved the game either. Idiot. Ridiculous comment.
