Stetson Bennett’s Georgia Bulldogs beat Bryce Young’s Alabama Crimson Tide 33 – 18 in a game that had has as many story lines as I can remember from a college game. The one I want to focus on involves these two quarterbacks who illustrate that there is no single pathway to greatness.
So, I can understand why his counterpart gets a bit miffed that his designation is as a former transfer from Jones County Junior College and walk-on at Georgia.
Bennett had to endure a steady drumbeat of disapproval all year despite quarterbacking his team all the way to Indianapolis and the championship game. Of course, he didn’t win by himself. Georgia had a fearsomely talented roster and a defense that was second to none. For most of the season, Georgia was ranked No. 1 in the nation.
With Georgia leading 14 – 13 in the fourth quarter, Bennett was scrambling to elude an Alabama defender and tried to throw the ball away, only to be hit by a defender and have the play ruled a fumble. Alabama took possession and scored several plays later to take the lead. The play might have crushed the spirit of a less resolved player, but not Bennett.
