He\u2019s older than Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert, all of whom are starting in the playoffs this weekend. On SiriusXM\u2019s \u201cMad Dog Unleashed\u201d after Georgia demolished TCU 65-7, Russo excoriated this as unfair competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a major problem with Stetson Bennett, at 25 years of age, playing college football,\u201d Russo said. \u201cI can see it for one year. Last year he won. Burrow was 23 going on 24 when he won. But 25 years of age, playing quarterback for Georgia, he should\u2019ve left after last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know that he was that old. I understand we have punters who are 50 from Australia punting. But I have a problem with a 25-year-old playing against 19-year-old kids. I had a problem with [Chris] Weinke doing it for Florida State when he won the Heisman [when he was 28]. I didn\u2019t vote for him for that reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-91887035.jpg?w=797\" alt=\"Chris Russo is up in arms over Stetson Bennett winning consecutive national titles at Georgia at 25 years old.\" class=\"wp-image-25313415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-91887035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 797w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-91887035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=399 398w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\"\/><figcaption>Chris Russo is up in arms over Stetson Bennett winning consecutive national titles at Georgia at 25 years old.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">WireImage<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Russo recognized that Bennett was a great story, but he\u2019d had enough. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I understand that Bennett story is a hell of a story,\u201d the \u201cMad Dog\u201d continued. \u201cWe all know about the walk-on, and [being] told to leave.
