Stetson Bennett had a monster fourth quarter to lead Georgia to a comeback win vs. Ohio State, but he didn’t do enough to get props from Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart.
On Saturday, Bennett threw for 190 yards which is the most by any player in the 4th quarter of a college football playoff game.

Despite Bennett’s heroics, Smart ripped into his QB during his postgame interview.
“He showed great competitive character but he’s got to play within our system, he’s gotta do what he’s coached to do or you can’t win games, you know he didn’t get those opportunities until the defense stopped them, and we were fortunate to stop them a couple times, He must play better if we hope to win the next one”
Kirby Smart couldn’t give Stetson Bennett some props for the comeback win just roasted him lol pic.twitter.com/JpO8C7CSTA
