Georgia Names Stetson Bennett as Starting QB for CFP Semifinal Game Against Michigan

Stetson Bennett will be the starting quarterback for Georgia when the Bulldogs face Michigan in the 2021 Orange Bowl on Friday.

Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart made the decision on Wednesday to start Bennett in the College Football Playoff semifinal game.

“Stetson [Bennett] is our starting quarterback,” Smart said. “The JT (Daniels) situation will be what’s the situation [in the game], right? And also is he healthy enough.”

Bennett, who struggled against the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game, threw for 2,325 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 64% of his passes this season.
