Stetson Bennett’s 1st half play lights up LSU’s defense and social media
Published:
Stetson Bennett might not be the most physically gifted quarterback in the country.
But there aren’t many signal callers who have proven that they can perform and win at the highest level they way Bennett has the last 2 years.
And the 5-11, 190-pound senior is at it again on Saturday against LSU in the SEC Championship game.
Bennett has picked apart the LSU defense and been in total command of the game, making solid throws in the pocket, while under pressure, and on the move.
In all, he completed 19-of-24 passes for 214 yards and 4 touchdowns in the opening half to stake the top-ranked Bulldogs to a 35-10 halftime lead.

Whether or not Bennett garners serious consideration for the Heisman Trophy remains to be seen.
Georgia, however, will be more than happy to have the former walk-on leading them into the College Football Playoff for the 2nd consecutive year.
And Bennett’s play on Saturday has drawn rave reviews on social media from college football observers around the country:
If you would’ve told me last year that Stetson Bennett would end up being the best QB in school history I may have fought you

Georgia really wants Stetson Bennett to get that invitation to New York.
5 first half touchdowns. He's trying to force his way into that Heisman conversation!

If I’m an NFL team I’m highly considering drafting Stetson Bennett something about a Will guy. Will to win, will to compete, Will to work.
