On the Cover

To Georgia fans, the national championship game served as the whole Stetson Experience, from the struggles to the successes, the doubts to complete vindication. The former walk-on quarterback was the unlikeliest of leaders. Still, according to Senior Writer Pat Forde, Stetson Bennett’s confidence never dipped on the road to becoming a national champion.
