Twitter reacts to Stetson Bennett’s curtain call with Georgia football

Stetson Bennett Georgia (Organization) Football Jordan Davis Horned Frogs TCU Bulldogs SEC Network

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett was a key part of the Bulldogs’ dominant national championship victory over the TCU Horned Frogs. Bennett finished the national championship with six total touchdowns and 343 total yards.

Bennett and Georgia are back-to-back national champions. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound quarterback from Blackshear, Georgia, walked on to Georgia in 2017. He transferred away from Athens to Jones College, but returned for the 2019 college football season.
