Stetson Bennett top Heisman Trophy candidate for Georgia, needs strong run game
ATHENS —Kirby Smart doubled down on his quarterback room when Arch Manning jilted his championship program, choosing a shaky 5-7 Texas over the Bulldogs.

Once again Bennet will have to make the naysayers look foolish. What's new? Right? This year will be the Coup de Grace. Mark my words if everyone stays relatively healthy, he will throw for 4 TD's a game average. Don't think Monken doesn't take Arch choosing Texas didn't ruffle his feathers. He has something to prove and SB is the man to prove it with.
Individual awards like the Heisman are petty in the Georgia culture, particularly in the context of its "team first" mindset. We certainly have had our share of "Heisman caliber" athletes dotting our roster throughout history, including today's squad... but I'll take the team approach any day. Go Dawgs!
Benett winner of the MVP award of the Orange Bowl CFP Semifinal, as well as MVP of the National Championship game, ranks below Bo Nix? Wow!
Interesting Vegas shows JTD as having better odds than SB4
What Stetson Bennett shows is that UGA was so good in 2021 that it won a National Championship with an average quarterback.
Pretty cool how SB4's photo above is the perfect Heisman pose, but in real action. Go Dawgs!
You are correct. Bennett compared to other starting quarterbacks is average at best. If Georgia gets behind and has to pass, they will be in trouble. It would have been very unlikely that Bennett would have won the starting job at any other SEC school had he decided to transfer.
I don’t believe a Heisman Trophy is in the cards for any of our Dawgs. We are so “team” oriented and it’s not in Kirby’s DNA to showcase individual players. He spreads the wealth with our receivers and running backs. Most of our great backs would consider a 1000 yard season a monumental accomplishment…..and a great season for receivers would be 700-800 yards. As far as QBs…..Kirby will call off the Dawgs in every game where we are leading by 24 in the 4th quarter so forget our QBs running-up the stats like some other teams we know. Also, I think we will see light years more action this year from our back-ups since they used their redshirts last season and Bennett now has ample experience with the 1st string offense. Don’t forget the statistical odds on winning the Heisman are based on more factors than just talent. The Vegas oddsmakers know that Kirby won’t let any player have gaudy stats so they all will have poor odds even if they are amazing athletes. Go Dawgs!!!
Which is a better testament to an OC? Having a 5star put up Heisman numbers or a guy who basically wasn't even recruited by D-1 school put up similar numbers to the 5 star guy? Just watch, it's coming. Young will be hard pressed to throw for 49 TD's again without Metchie and Williams and another dude they lost. SB will throw for 40 this year.
It's whats going to bring in some of the top tier guys in receiving. Wait for it.
That list should tell you everything you need to know about the Heisman. DJ Uiagalelei Is #7 on the "list". LOL. Tell me another one. That's right, he had a Dr Pepper commercial last year...definitely worthy.
In the tune of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Base"
...."It's all about that hype..bout that hype...bout that hype...no performance"...
Let's just wait and see what happens on the actual Football Field this year. To hell with media hype.
You mean, like they did in the CFP? Correct me if I'm wrong, but, I believe it was Bennett that led his team to victory in the 4th qtr...not Young. That's what's real. Not all the anti-hype. LOL
