Obviously, it would not be fun. Losing never is. But there would be no shame in losing to a likely national title favorite. Georgia may win Saturday. It may lose. Regardless, these next few days will be fun. Go Dawgs! Loading comments In the lovely college hamlet of Athens, Georgia, there always seems to be something.
If not for back-to-back Sugar Bowl losses following that season, Georgia could have won three straight national titles. That night, No. In Walker's final game, the great running back left with that year's Heisman Trophy but with no championship. Georgia didn't win another SEC title for 20 years. Replays showed he didn't. Coaches like Ray Goff and Jim Donnan tried their best. Mark Richt broke the SEC title drought in and stayed for 15 years, but in the end, he wasn't good enough.

The Dawgs' jaws have never dropped lower -- in disbelief. Maybe it's fitting that the day before Halloween, Georgia hopes to maintain the look of a champion against Florida. The Dawgs have won three of the last four, falling last season.

There were three more touchdown passes Saturday, giving Bennett That's the most by a Georgia quarterback since Jake Fromm in Bennett completed 14 of 20 passes, two of them going to freshman Brock Bowers. As the Georgia steamrolling continues, the question is not only if Bennett will remain Georgia's quarterback but whether the Dawgs can win a national championship with him under center.
It was what we could do to win the game. Bennett is almost trying to blend in with the woodwork. Asked to sum up his career, he said, "Walk on who transferred then got a scholarship, started a little bit, got benched, then started a little bit again this year. When one reporter tried to get a juicy tidbit out of Bennett's tendency to flex after touchdowns, the quarterback demurred. Landing somewhere between a game manager and a playmaker, it's obvious Bennett has been trusted with more of the offense.
He's getting more opportunities to throw downfield. As for his championship credentials, why can't Bennett be a title-winning quarterback?
