Former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett saw his first real NFL action on Thursday night in Australia.
The two-time national championship-winning UGA QB replaced fellow Dawg Matt Stafford late in the 4th quarter with the Rams down big to the 49ers.
Bennett finished the game with 13 yards on 2-of-3 passing and 9 rushing yards. Stafford went 15/25 for 155 yards, no touchdowns and 1 interception.
Bennett, 28, was drafted in the 4th round of the 2023 NFL draft.
At Georgia, Bennett won 2 natties, 2 national title MVPs, the Manning Award and the Burlsworth Award (awarded to the best college football player who began his career as a walk on).
GATA, No. 13!

The GOAT
Impressive to hold off the shiny new toy and high draft capital bama QB.
Think he will have a career in the NFL as long as he wants one as a back up.

Let's not pretend that Stafford will always be under center in LA. Dude looked rusty last night.

Yeah but I think this is Stets last year under current contract. I doubt he resigns with Rams with Simpson there.

The X factor in the entire equation is Stafford's health.

They must be concerned with Stafford's health, age and performance. I think that the old dawg is finished.

They were losing 27-7 with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter when Bennett went in the game.
Stafford won the MVP seven months ago.

Nah, I didn't see anything alarming in that game, they were just a tick off. I think coming in a few days earlier and learning the venue would help. I think that is what the 9ers did.

I know they want to protect Stafford but he did not look ready. Sitting out the preseason and then playing on the other side of the world wasn’t a great plan.
ETA: I bet the Falcons wished they had Stet right now. Going after Tua was beyond stupid.

Rams landed 28 hours before KO. Probably not the smartest decision they've made lately.

They fired their circadian rhythm doctor… when that is absolutely a frick up from management

It was great to see Stetson finally play in a game that counts. It was fun watching him hustle again.

I remember when some of the Braintrust here said he would not sniff a NFL roster.

The list of stuff Stetson Bennett was said to have never been able to do is quite long.
Posted on 9/14/26 at 11:42 am to Peter Buck
And they wanted JT to play because he had more NFL talent.
What roster is he on?

Blasted rapscallions also opined that our spectacularly monikered chap should never even have seen the field at our esteemed university. The old boy gave them a right good seeing-off. Pip-pip!
