The Georgia Bulldogs have had some major QB struggles in recent weeks. Stetson Bennett IV has struggled the last 3 games and is now dealing with a shoulder injury.

Meanwhile, D’Wan Mathis has been ineffective in his time on the field, and we haven’t seen USC transfer JT Daniels at all yet.

On Monday, coach Kirby Smart was asked a lot about Daniels, and he expressed that Daniels, Mathis and Carson Beck would all get reps this week in practice in case Bennett can’t play. Here’s what else he had to say about Daniels:

On the practice plan for Daniels this week:

“He’s going to get reps. He’s going to get work because, we just talked about it, Stetson, we don’t know if he’s going to be there or not. The great thing about JT is, he begged to go down to the scout team to get work when he wasn’t early on. He wanted to go down and compete, throw and get better against our defense. So, it’s not like he’s been sitting on the shelf, not getting many throws. He’s been getting a lot of those.”

On Daniels’ work with the scout team: 

“JT [Daniels] down on the scout team, like Stetson [Bennett] when he was down there before, sometimes you get to do things without risk and reward because your job down there is to get the ball in the air and throw the ball, service the team, get a look. He’s not down there all of the time. We have [Nathan] Priestley and Jackson Muschamp that do a good job as well. JT likes to go down there and compete and throw some—so he spends time with our offense. He’s in all of the meetings with our offense. He goes down there and throws every now and then. JT’s got a good arm, there’s no doubt about that. It’s one of the deals that he is getting better and better every day with mobility. You feel good that he is able to move around and do some things down there with us. Again, he’s going to get some reps with Stetson out, and we’ll find out where he is.”
