Georgia’s Stetson Bennett and TCU’s Max Duggan share similar stories as quarterbacks who needed to disprove doubters before finding starring roles in the national championship game. It’s no surprise Bennett says he immediately liked Duggan when the two spent time together at the Heisman Trophy ceremony last month. Bennett says “Max is an awesome dude.” Duggan was the runner-up to USC quarterback Caleb Williams in the Heisman voting. Bennett finished fourth. While Duggan lost his starting job at the start of the season, Bennett was a walk-on before leaving school and returning to land the starting job.
