When a team has to prepare for a talented player like Heisman-winning Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield, that puts a lot of pressure on the scout team in practice.
This week, the Georgia Bulldogs have been working on how they want to try to stop Mayfield, and have gotten some big contributions from a walk-on freshman quarterback.
On Friday, several members of Georgia’s defense praised the work of Stetson Bennett IV, who has been doing a great job with his Mayfield impersonation in the buildup to the Rose Bowl:

Of course, no one can truly emulate the dynamic Mayfield, but it sounds as if the Bulldogs are getting some good reps against Bennett and the scout team.
We’ll find out soon enough if Bennett’s work has paid off. Check out the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day at 5 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
