Georgia fans confused and angry after Stetson Bennett enters game and throws bad INT

Two-quarterback systems don’t often end up working out for the best. Sometimes, when 1 guy has the hot hand, you should just let him keep working his magic.
Georgia doesn’t exactly have a 2-quarterback system, but for some reason, on Saturday night against South Carolina, Stetson Bennett IV came on in relief of starter JT Daniels late in the first quarter.
Daniels had already led the Bulldogs on 2 touchdown drives. Bennett came in and promptly threw an interception:

Bennett had a great game against UAB last week in relief of Daniels, who was injured. But, halting Daniels’ momentum to get Bennett into the game was a strange call by coach Kirby Smart.
Naturally, Georgia fans and media had plenty to say about it on social media:

Dawg JT had two drives at 14 points. Tf you giving Stetson the ball for now?

Why are we talking about Stetson Bennett like he’s competing for the starting job…..this is what gets us in trouble. Dumbass decisions again at the university of georgia…….

Kirby Smart has to stop killing UGA's momentum with this questionable QB strategy. Stetson Bennett is NOT the starter. He's NOT gonna be the starter. He can barely see over the offensive line. Stop sabotaging your team!

Stetson may have earned the right to play but I'm afraid he just earned the right to sit back down. He CAN do it but there"s some wrench in the works, hope it gets better… #GoDawgs

Can we please not put Stetson Bennett back in the game

Wait, since when was the starting QB job up for debate, Kirby?
I love Stetson, but this is JT’s job.

We’ll see if Bennett gets any additional playing time as this game goes on.
