At the start of the 2020 season, Stetson Bennett was Georgia’s starting quarterback. Now, it appears it would take quite a few things to happen for him to get into a game for the Bulldogs.

While speaking to the media on Tuesday, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart confirmed that Carson Beck is currently the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind starter JT Daniels (h/t The Athletic’s Seth Emerson). But if the time came when the Bulldogs needed Bennett, they know they could count on him.

“Stetson’s got a lot of banked reps, so we ask him to do a lot mentally to be prepared,” Smart told reporters.

Beck is a redshirt freshman who made his college debut in last year’s regular-season finale against Missouri. However, he didn’t attempt any passes or rushes. He could eventually take over as Georgia’s starter after Daniels, who is currently a redshirt junior.

Bennett, a redshirt senior, has gotten into games for the Bulldogs each of the previous 2 seasons. In 2020, he passed for 1,179 yards, 8 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 8 games.

Georgia will play its home opener on Saturday, when it hosts UAB at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. And considering it’s likely to be a one-sided contest, perhaps Daniels will get a breather late in the game and Beck will get an opportunity to gain some experience.
