Kirby Smart knows college football season is tough, but so far he’s proven to have the secret to winas many College Football Playoff National Championships as he wants.

Smart’s key to having a good offensive line is Stetson Bennett, he knew Bennett was the perfect replacement during the 2021 NCAA season and during the 2022 CFP.

The big test for Smart and the Bulldogs will be in the upcoming 2023 NCAA Regular Season where he won’t have Bennett and another couple of players who will surely be drafted by some NFL teams.
