Stetson Bennett: Eligibility| Where is now| 2021| Brother

Eligibility:

They’d waited more than 40 years for Monday night, as Georgia last reached this perch when Herschel Walker pranced, Jimmy Carter lived in the White House and Vince Dooley wore a tie on the sideline. 

Georgia football popped occasionally under Mark Richt, hit a ceiling with Jim Donnan and toiled in the late years of Ray Goff.

Where is now:

When the moment finally arrived to give Georgia its first national title in 41 seasons, it arrived only after this Georgia team stared down its demons, teased another torturous chapter and spent the fourth quarter against Alabama on Monday night toggling the thin line between history and infamy. 

Georgia’s proud fan base accumulated a generation of scar tissue waiting for a national championship, as four decades of futility included the second-and-26 in the 2017 title game against Alabama and this season’s supposed destiny getting bulldozed into SEC title game misery.

2021:

After failing to score a touchdown for the game’s first 43 minutes, Georgia scored four in the final 16:20. “It hit me a little bit on the sideline,” Bennett said.

Bennett capped those back-to-back touchdown drives with a 40-yard pass to Adonai Mitchell and a 15-yard pass to star freshman tight end Brock Bowers.

With Twitter coaches begging for Kirby Smart to pull Bennett for backup JT Daniels, the son of Bainbridge stuck with the walk-on from Blackshear. And two Georgia boys will be forever linked by the frenetic fourth-quarter flurry that delivered history. 

Brother:

Channel 2′s Alison Mastrangelo caught up with his twin brothers about why he is the heart and soul of the Bulldogs.

“He’s a great leader always helping someone, giving out compliments and makes others shine before himself,” Knox Bennett said. Knox and Luke are twins. Knox is the older Bennett by one minute.
