The first guy on this list to earn a helmet sticker is Georgia football starting quarterback Stetson Bennett because he produced a 300-plus yard game for the second straight week.

While it wasn’t as good as Week 1 against Oregon, it was strong. Bennett had his moments, but he still looks like a more confident quarterback. That moxy will help him perform better in 2022 is quite evident after two weeks.

Against Samford, Bennett went 24-of-34 for 300 yards and one touchdown. He also recorded a rushing touchdown.

Bennett is one of the best quarterbacks in the country through two weeks of the season. He has a 74.2% completion rate, which ranks No.3 among all Power 5 quarterbacks. This game marks the fourth straight performance with 300-plus yards — dating back to the Michigan win.

Bennett wasn’t perfect against the Bulldogs, but it did enough to win. He needs to work on making better choices in some situations and a few overthrown balls, but Bennett is on track to have an even better season than he did in 2021.

Bennett was a close MVP candidate for the second straight week but missed the cut. Since he put together another strong performance, he earned a helmet sticker. He has a big game ahead of him in Columbia, S.C., and it could be a defining moment for Bennett.
