ATLANTA — Stetson Bennett, Georgia’s two-time champion quarterback, is pursuing an NFL career. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, playoff hero, returned home to play at Texas. Another top pass-catcher, transfer Rodarius Thomas, is suspended by UGA as he waits for his day in court following an arrest on accusations of domestic violence. Two starters on Georgia’s offensive line declared for the NFL draft.
That’s a lot of attrition for Georgia’s national championship offense. Kirby Smart’s national championship machine is expected to keep humming despite the losses. That might be harder if one of its chief engineers, offensive coordinator Todd Monken, leaves for the NFL after three years in Athens.
The chances of that happening are higher than ever, if only because of the math.
