Stetson Bennett fires back at doubters: 'People are gonna be like, 'No we didn't,' well, yeah you did'
Stetson Bennett is well-versed in responding to critics, and the Georgia quarterback is at it again.
Leading up to the national championship on Monday against TCU, Bennett put it this way:
“There was a lot of people who doubted us, and I know people are gonna be like, ‘No we didn’t,’ well, yeah you did,” Bennett told Sirius XM.
He simply said it’s what Georgia set out to do this year.
“Maybe not doubted us as far as unranked doubted us,” he said, “but there wasn’t a consensus, and it seems as if people have forgotten that storyline, and forgotten what this team has done, as a collective. Heard all the doubters when we’re talking about 15 draft picks lost to the draft, and lot of those guys on defense, and even on offense, heard that. So we went to work and we took it week by week and now we’re here and I think that’s really special.”
Stetson Bennett makes it clear that Georgia heard the doubters this year:
“There was a lot of people who doubted us – and I know people are gonna be like, ‘?? ?? ????’?.’ – well, yeah you did.”@StetsonIv | @GeorgiaFootball | #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/wNSMRIxZhi

He’s not wrong. Everyone… EVERYONE picked Bama to win the SEC and the National Title this year.
That is doubting that the Dawgs could do it.
agree. bama was the unanimous pick. i don’t fault the logic, but uga was a distant 2nd pick to bama to win the conf….
Most UGA fans agreed with AP from pre-season up to week ten, ridiculed the playoff committee ranking Tenn #1, but Georgia embarrassed each of them, and most agreed with the CFP committee thereafter.
I guess he is talking about the blather-sphere of sports talk.
If what he’s saying about them is true, then good for Stetson speaking up about it.
Can’t stand that little c r a p because he has humiliated AU every year he has played against us. However, nothing but respect for what he has done, how he manages a game and his focus, and how he just f ing wins!!!
GEORGIA HASN’T DONE IT YET!!!!!! BUT….
Everyone on SDS absolutely knows that shortly after we won it last season. I clearly said, ” I PREDICT GEORGIA WILL REPEAT! AND IF THEY REPEAT. I TRULY BELIEVE THEY WILL 3PEAT!!!!! ”

Georgia hasn’t won it yet! So let’s FINISH BEFORE WE TALK!!!!! TCU IS MORE THAN ABLE TO BEAT GEORGIA, IF WE DON’T BRING ” OUR A GAME!!!! ” God willing we will and Georgia will repeat as national champions!!!!!
LETS QUIT TALKING AND JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING ON THAT FIELD AGAINST TCU!!!! DO IT FOR THE DOUBTERS!!! DO IT FOR RYAN DAY WHO IS RUNNING HIS MOUTH!!! MOST OF ALL DO IT FOR THE FANS AND YOURSELVES!!!!!

Awwww, the little child m o l e s t o r is back. How many kids do you have coming over to “watch” the game? Punk a s s b i tch boy! STOP F U C K I N G KIDS YOU P E D O.
Oh no ranked in #3 preseason and not #1, how will they recover /s. But seriously, we all know pre-season is bogus, always has been. Yall have a great team, for sure. Nobody can argue that. These writers just have to put something on paper.
We should all be a lot more mad at aTm being a preseason #6 after doing literally nothing to deserve it the season before while TCU had to fight for any respect or attention.
GEORGIA FATIGUE ALREADY……
Jayhawks2BigSky….. Georgia won a national championship for the first time in 41 years after being robbed in 2017, and yet the entire country wants TCU to win!!!!
Just 1 championship in 41 years after being robbed in 2017, and already there is GEORGIA FATIGUE!!!! Sorry but I don’t get it? Well actually I DO!
THE REASON FOR GEORGIA FATIGUE….
The media has called Georgia the new Alabama & Kirby the new Saban!!!! Not true because WE ARE THE NEW GEORGIA PERIOD, AND KIRBY IS KIRBY!!!! Still what is happening is this…
People sense real cracks in the Alabama dynasty now and were happy about that possibility. Then here comes Georgia looking exactly like the nightmare that began in TUSCALOOSA!!!!
And the natural reaction is, here we go again!!!
And it’s even worse because those people realize. There might be something to what Negan and others said about, MAYBE IT WAS KIRBY SMART THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THAT ALABAMA DYNASTY! Saban only won 1 at LSU!!! It happened to be the 1 season that Kirby Smart was also at LSU!!!! Coincidence? I don’t think so!!!!!
Anyway, people are seriously worried that this Georgia dynasty as they now call it. Might just last a long long time!!!! Personally, I believe their fears are justified!!!!! LOL
STILL ITS NOT FAIR TO GEORGIA TO HAVE GEORGIA FATIGUE SO QUICKLY!!!!!!
TCU could have easily been dropped to #5 when they lost and Alabama put in!!!! They weren’t. So TCU has gotten plenty of respect!!!! They certainly have my full attention!!!! I think Georgia will need to play a great game to beat them. God willing, hopefully Georgia will play a great game and repeat!!!!!
PS. Until Ohio state, y’all played Georgia the best. That proves you have it in your team DNA, if it’s cultivated. So congratulations on that….
STILL AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL WE ACTUALLY REPEAT BEFORE YOU GET GEORGIA FATIGUE!!!! LOL

Everyone has negan fatigue because we’re sick of you f u c k i n g children in your momma’s basement! How did the circle jerk go Saturday night? You had tdow as the pivot this week didn’t you? F U C K NEGAN AND HIS MOMMA AND DADDY! I hope you don’t f u c k your own kids too.
Oh yes, there were many who saw last season as the stars aligning for a magical UGA season, and not the result of several years of rigorous program-building with the goal of sustainability at an elite level. Kirby promised after the 2017 NCG that “we’re not going anywhere”, and continued to methodically build and improve.
The scary thing for CFB is that these two teams may not be his best when all is said and done. He not only stacks elite talent and develops it as well as anyone in the country, but he is extremely selective about a kid’s “fit” in the team culture he’s created. When you can achieve true synergy with players this talented, it’s just an awesome thing.
yep. plenty questioned uga being able to make a serious run in ’23. some of the reasoning. we heard it all. back-door title. slim odds against repeating. too much talent lost. injuries by others. continued questioning of bennett, game-manager qb. no returning 1,000 yd rb or wr— ;-).
agree that these last two years could actually lend to not even being the two best teams under cks; however, collective talent doesn’t always equate to champs. we could have a fun conversation in whether bama’s ’18 – ’19 teams were actually saban’s best. no nat’l champs, but i’d definitely rank those two teams over the ’15 and ’16 teams, of which one won the champ and the other lost a thriller in the champ.
