They didn’t win the Joe Moore Award, but that doesn’t mean Georgia’s o-line hasn’t been doing some righteous work this season.
In fact, look at the list of Power 5 players who had at least 5 sacks this season but failed to get a sack on Bennett:
- BJ Ojulari, LSU
- Harold Perkins, LSU
- Derick Hall, Auburn
- Byron Young, Tennessee
- Tyrus Wheat, MSU
- Isaiah McGuire, Mizzou
- DJ Coleman, Mizzou
- Keion White, Georgia Tech
- DJ Johnson, Oregon
I mean, Bennett hasn’t been sacked since mid-October. That’s 6 consecutive games against Power 5 competition in which UGA kept its signal-caller upright. Half of those teams earned a top-25 ranking in the final Playoff poll, too. Sure, part of that is having a quarterback in his mid-20s. But the other part of that is having a selfless, dominant group who clearly into its own.
They’re also fourth nationally in tackles for loss allowed. Pretty effing stout, if you ask me, even if they don’t have the hardware to show for it.
Get The Picture 
I hope we get a shot at Michigan again just to take their candy again.

We could nitpick about not getting a push at the goal line, but Jalen Carter is no Jordan Davis at the FB position.

FPD,
While I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I’ll allow you the honor of pointing out to Mr. Carter his personal deficiencies.

Nice job Mr Searles well done sir, Broderick calling you “old school” was not a rack but something that worked.

Perkins chirping before the SECCG only to come up empty was quite satisfying.

Every ESPN pundit not named Benjamin Watson or David Pollack (who both noted he was a talented freshman) slobbered over Perkins the whole week of the SECC, too. Darnell buried him several times.
