Todd Monken is aware of Stetson Bennett’s recent turnovers against Alabama, which are 5 interceptions in the last 2 games, but it’s not something that necessarily predicts the future, he said.

Monken, Georgia’s offensive coordinator, spoke with the media on Wednesday ahead of the national championship game against Alabama on Monday.

“I see it as he’s played, I don’t know how many games at starting quarterback, and like any player they’ve had their moments where they haven’t played up to what they believe their standard to be or we believe that standard to be. It just so happens to have come in the second half against the team we’re about to play,” Monken said.

Monken reminded that Bennett has played well, and been successful in the first halves against Alabama, and that Georgia’s  issues with turnovers aren’t his issue particularly.

“That’s everybody in this country — if you turn the ball over you’re not going to win, no matter how you do it,” Monken said.  “The first turnover a year ago was a batted ball that was out of his control. The second interception was a tipped pass on an end cut that went directly to them. The third one was a poor decision. So the bottom line is I can do better as a coordinator to put him in better position to be successful. He understands that. Our team understands that. So I expect him to play well just like I did last week.”
