Stetson Bennett is making Georgia fans everywhere uncomfortable with his Wednesday look.

The former Georgia quarterback made a bet with Rams’ teammate and former Alabama tight end Miller Forristall. If Alabama lost to Georgia, Forristall would have to wear Georgia gear. If Georgia lost to Alabama, Bennett would have to wear the Tide gear. Unfortunately for Bennett, the latter happened.

Paying up on his bet, Bennett was pictured wearing an Alabama polo and hat.

“Stetson LOVES the Tide,” wrote Forristal on social media.

It’s strange to see the former Bulldog wearing Tide gear, that’s for sure.

Bennett walked on to the Bulldogs in 2017, but the QB would not become the starter until late in 2020. Under Bennett, the Bulldogs went on to win 2 National Championships, in 2021 and 2022.

As the starter at Georgia, Bennett only beat the Tide once, in the CFP National Championship Game.

After leading Georgia to glory, Bennett was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 4th round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Forristall also did his share of winning. The TE also won 2 National Championships, in 2017 and 2020 with the Tide. Forristall is now Bennett’s teammate on the Rams as a backup TE.

While Georgia lost the game, it was an instant classic. The Bulldogs fought their way out of a 30-7 deficit at halftime and took the lead near the end of the 4th quarter. However, Ryan Williams made one of the most insane plays you’ll ever see from a wide receiver and the Tide escaped with a 41-34 victory.

Alabama’s next matchup is against Vanderbilt, while Georgia plays Auburn.
