There were plenty of standouts in Georgia’s 49-3 victory over Oregon on Saturday.

On Monday, the Bulldogs took the time to single out some of the top players from the game.

Not surprisingly, senior quarterback Stetson Bennett got the nod on the offensive side of the ball.

Bennett passed for 368 yards and 2 touchdowns in the victory.

On defense, senior defensive back Chis Smith was recognized after recording six tackles, a sack, and an interception, as was freshman defensive back Malaki Starks, who had 8 tackles and an interception.

The Special Teams were represented by senior kicker Jack Podlesny, who was 7-of-7 on PATs and delivered 6 touchbacks in 8 kick-off attempts.

Also singled out on special teams was senior Dan Jackson, a key member of Georgia’s kick-off coverage team.
