Georgia Bulldogs' Stetson Bennett provides spark after replacing quarterback D'Wan Mathis

Georgia's quarterback competition will continue after former walk-on Stetson Bennett replaced starter D'Wan Mathis in Saturday's season-opening win at Arkansas.

Bennett entered the game in the second quarter on the offense's seventh possession. He completed 20 of 29 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in Georgia's 37-10 win. Mathis completed 8 of 17 passes for 55 yards and an interception, mostly during a sluggish first half where Georgia ran 49 offensive plays but did not record an offensive score until a field goal as time expired.
