Georgia fans call out Bulldogs for not turning to backup QB JT Daniels

Georgia fans aren’t happy with the way the SEC Championship Game is going on Saturday evening.
The Bulldogs trail Alabama 38-17 early in the fourth quarter, but QB Stetson Bennett IV hasn’t had a great second half.
That’s led many to question why coach Kirby Smart isn’t putting backup QB JT Daniels in the game, insisting on sticking with Bennett.
Smart’s reluctance to go to Daniels has drawn plenty of reaction on Twitter, as you can see below:

JT Daniels has 1.1 potential arm talent… Georgia will not beat Bama unless he’s the QB

So they got JT Daniels, but they want Stetson Bennett. Georgia is not a playoff team.

Kirby has a month to get JT Daniels ready to go. You can’t roll this back.

I really don’t understand what JT Daniels did to piss of Kirby

Imagine having JT Daniels just chilling on the bench….

Georgia is down 3 scores with time running out. If Bennett can’t make the explosive plays and move the offense a little quicker, it might be time to see what Daniels can do.
