re: Why Kirby played Stetson

Y’all realize that Stetson played about the same in all three games against Alabama but in the third attempt his team actually stepped up and didn’t make him throw from down 2 scores or more in the 2nd half for once…right?

Wait a minute. I hate troll threads...but you are saying Bennett threw for 224 yards, 2 Tds with 0 Ints the first few times he played against Alabama? because it remember it differently, and i think if we checked the box score it would say differently.

As for the second half...you don't think that 40 yd pass from Bennett to Mitchell had anything at all to do with the win? You know, the score that put us ahead for good at 19-18?

I get it. He did a bad troll. But at least be honest about it.

Two thousand yard receivers, the starting RB, and both starting cornerbacks would have made zero difference in the title game. Right ? Bama third and fourth stringers had the lead in the fourth quarter.

Tykee Smith All American DB
Dominick Blaylock 5* WR
Arian Smith WR fastest we have
Tate Ratledge Starting OG
Kendall Milton High 4* RB
Adam Anderson projected 1st round edge rusher
Jalen kimber DB
Rian Davis LB

Yep. It hurts when you are missing players. We can sympathize.

Ftr? George Pickens wasn't anywhere near full speed, either.

So I do agree with you. It hurts when you are missing key players.

Suggestion? Skip troll threads and you won't get triggered.

I don’t think Stet played terrible in any of the games against Alabama.

I don't think it is stretching things to say he played badly.

The SECCG he threw 3 Tds, but then the also threw for 2 Ints one being a bad pick 6. That's not good.

Georgia only played well as a team in 1 of the matchups and that is the one where Stet got to play his game rather than go score for score with an elite offense.

---

Don't misunderstand. Not playing from behind helps....but we were leading in all the games early.

quote:

---

Georgia could run the ball in the 2nd half because the defense didn’t let the game get away from them and the OL answered a manhood check. This allowed Stet to play off the play action without zone coverage. Almost all his picks were when Georgia was playing from behind and having to throw out of their normal offensive schedule.

Hey...I am not saying Stetson Bennett beat Alabama single handedly. I am saying he played a better game that allowed us to do things we were not able to do in earlier games against Alabama. But you can't discount that pass to Brock Bowers and AD Mitchell. The Bowers pass was tougher than it looked and the Mitchell pass was placed exactly where it needed to be.

Make no mistake about this, either. I am not defending a troll thread. I don't care for them personally, but the Rant is what it is.

I’m both saying Stet wasn’t as bad as people acted before the CFPCG but neither is he good as good as Georgia fans and others are acting now after the CFPCG.

---

One reason Georgia fans are reacting like they(we) are is because of all the vitriol that was directed at him by other fan bases and yes, some Alabama posters.
Shoot, we still have some Georgia fans that will say he had nothing to do with the win....that it was all our defense. Yes, the defense played well, but to deny Stetson Bennett played an important role is incorrect.

He is a serviceable QB with limited physical skills. he has a good arm, but not great. He is not tall. He tends to put the football at risk at times.

He played well last Monday night. We can argue about why....but I suspect we would agree why. Fact is, he did not play well in earlier games, and for whatever the reasons he played well last Monday.

I hear you. I’m happy that Stetson Bennett got to stop being the punching bag for a pair of full-team failures. I hate that it was at my team’s expense but he’s a fine college quarterback when everyone around him executes their assignments.

Damn this dude melts hard, even for a Bama fan!

We all saw what happened in December before injuries took away Bama advantage against Georgia's defense.

It's funny to be relentlessly trolled for years and then be expected to "win with class" it's just for fun

Yes. We were down about 5 starters.

1. Adam Anderson
2. Tykee smith
3. Tate Ratledge
4. Warren Ericsson
5. George Pickens

Our backups simply made the plays yours couldn’t.

UGAs last 3 TDs were scored by freshman who were ready because they didn’t rely all year on 2 1000 yd receivers. Alabama should copy that model.

The pick six Bryce threw in the NC game was way worse than the one Bennett threw in the SECCG.
