Georgia stated freshman quarterback D'Wan Mathis, but he was pulled in the second quarter after going 6-of-13 passing for 37 yards with an interception and also having some mental errors. Smart brought in Stetson Bennett, who jump-started the offense and finished the day 20-of-29 passing for 211 yards and two touchdowns. "We were on the headphones and we talked, "Smart said. "We were struggling and we didn't have a lot of rhythm. Felt like we needed to change things up. I don't know how many drives we were into, played five maybe six, however many it was, before we went to Stetson. I thought he would give us some energy.

"There are things he can do well. He is different than D'Wan. He has experience and he gave us a spark. That helped us out. He was very decisive with the ball and makes good decisions. He understands what the defense is trying to do to him. "I think getting to watch a little bit of the game helped him. Right now, going forward, we will decide how we go forward. We will go back and watch the tape. "Not all those things that went wrong were D'Wan's fault. I know a lot of people blamed D'Wan or whatever. But at the end of the day it is on all of us to get right. Not all of those were bad decisions. Not all of them were bad throws. He made some good throws. But we have got to get better that's for sure." Georgia had over 90 yards of penalties in the first half, but none in the third quarter and ended with 12 penalties for 108 yards. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Mathis, an early enrollee in January 2019, had a health scare after spring practice in 2019. He experienced severe headaches and underwent emergency surgery to have a cyst removed from his brain. Doctors allowed Mathis to return to practice on a limited basis late last season, and in May he was fully cleared for practice. "[Mathis] has been through so much," Smart said. "He's a bright-eyed, talented kid. There are a lot of guys who have confidence in D'Wan." Pittman was Georgia's offensive line coach the previous four seasons, so he knows Mathis on a personal level. "We know what kind of arm he has," Pittman said. "But he would be maybe a little bit more of a dual threat, because he certainly can run. "He can actually fly. He's really fast, and to be honest with you, I'm really excited if he plays against us. I'm excited for him. Because he had surgery that might not have allowed him to play. He's come a long way. Certainly we're not wanting to play against him because he's such a talented young man. But I'm certainly thrilled that he has been cleared and is ready to get his football career back on course. A wonderful kid."

When Georgia's workouts were shut down in the spring because of the coronavirus pandemic, Mathis stayed in Athens to continue training and be supervised by the team's medical staff. "He has a powerful arm, has a great spin on the ball," Georgia wide receiver Kearis Jackson told reporters Monday when asked about Mathis' passing ability. "I know this offseason we took it extra serious about getting the extra throws in, getting that chemistry right. "This offseason, all the quarterbacks threw well, but D'Wan's speed and stuff is very special for him to be able to have an arm and the speed as well. He will be a weapon." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Mathis' path to potential starter for the Bulldogs is rather remarkable. Last spring, headaches and sinus pain nagged the quarterback. Following checkups and X-rays, doctors found a brain cyst that required Mathis to undergo emergency surgery. Pittman said he does not particularly want to face Mathis because he brings valuable traits to the Bulldogs' offense. At the same time, he would be excited for Mathis if he does play. "We know what kind of arm he has," Pittman said. "But he would be maybe a little bit more of a dual threat because he certainly can run. He can actually fly. He's come a long way. "I'm certainly thrilled that he has been cleared and is ready to get his football career back on course. He's a wonderful kid." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Kirby Smart will begin his fifth Georgia season with only the fourth different starting quarterback during his time as head coach. Whether it's D'Wan Mathis or J.T. Daniels that gets the nod, Smart wasn't ready to say Tuesday evening. The choice is down to Mathis, the dual-threat redshirt freshman who has appeared to surge, and Daniels, the former five-star Southern Cal transfer, after Wake Forest graduate transfer Jamie Newman opted out two weeks ago. "As far as we can tell, it will probably be a gametime decision," Smart said. Georgia opens the season Sept. 26 at Arkansas. "We talk about it a lot with our players to make sure they understand where we are," he said. Hundreds of Magill Society donors and former lettermen were on hand in an otherwise closed third preseason scrimmage Saturday where Mathis got most of the first team snaps. Daniels was limited to situational work, which led observers to conclude that Mathis may be ahead. "They certainly have a right to," Smart said. "It doesn't concern me. It was part of the rotation as far as each day. It just so happened they were there that day." - Athens Daily Banner
