Even with JT Daniels back available, Georgia is sticking with Stetson Bennett as its starting QB against Florida on Saturday, sources told On3.

Bennett and Daniels, who has been out since Sept. 25 with a lat injury, shared time with Georgia’s first-team offense in practice during the lead-up to the game.

Aided by Bennett, Georgia has beaten ranked opponents in each of its last three games — then-No. 8 Arkansas (37-0 in Week 5), then-No. 18 Auburn (34-10 in Week 6) and then-No. 11 Kentucky (30-13 in Week 7).
