Stetson Bennett reveals when he learned he’d get the start vs. Arkansas

Stetson Bennett IV, not JT Daniels, started for the Georgia Bulldogs against No. 8 Arkansas on Saturday, leading the Dawgs to a 37-0 victory.

Daniels was dealing with a lat injury, and it was unclear all week if he’d be able to play or not.

But, apparently, according to Bennett’s postgame comments, it was never in doubt that Bennett was going to start:

Stetson Bennett said he was told Monday he was starting: "I was the starter all week. JT had something going on."

It’s impressive that the Bulldogs kept that a secret all week, especially in today’s era of social media leaks, anonymous “sources,” etc.

Now, the attention turns to next week’s game at Auburn. Will Bennett continue as QB1, or will Daniels be healthy enough to play?
