Stetson Bennett and Hendon Hooker show experience under center is an edge. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Stetson Bennett and Hendon Hooker are proving there are benefits to being older as a quarterback … Power ranking the NFL’s best after Week 8 … and more! "Maturity," Stetson Bennett said recently, by way of tribute to his teammates on Georgia’s offense. "We’ve got mature guys." He should know. Truth is, not many players in college football are as mature as Bennett, both in terms of mental approach, and the unavoidable fact that by the typical standards of tertiary education, the Bulldogs quarterback is a pretty old dude. Bennett, a sixth-year senior who’s still slinging about a college pigskin due to the combination of a redshirt, a COVID-exemption and a "goodbye-hello again" transfer jaunt, recently celebrated his 25th birthday with an early night, before downing Florida the next day to keep the Bulldogs rated No. 1 in the country. He’s older than some National Football League quarterbacks. Scratch that, he’s older than a ton of NFL QBs. He’s older than Justin Herbert, who is already an established star, and Jalen Hurts, who’s giving the league MVP award a surprising shake. He’s just a couple of months younger than Kyler Murray, who was selected first in an NFL Draft that took place 42 months ago. He was born in the same year (1997) as Lamar Jackson, who has been around long enough and is good enough that his next contract figures to land him shy of a million bucks a week. Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson and Justin Fields are young enough that Bennett might have stolen their place in the lunch line had they gone to high school together. Trey Lance, the second-year starter for San Francisco until his injury? He’s a mere baby by comparison, at 22 years old. Georgia has benefited from Bennett’s wizened ways and veteran’s philosophy over the past couple of seasons, his nous and level-headedness an advantage head coach Kirby Smart has been thankful for on a weekly basis. Experience under center is always a guaranteed edge for the Bulldogs, until, maybe, this week.

UCLA Men’s Basketball to win 2022-2023 National Championship: +1700 From FOX Sports Analyst Andy Katz: The Bruins are on quite a run the past three seasons and two of the key players are back in Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Tyger Campbell. Campbell is a money playmaker, and guards win titles. If Jaquez Jr. had been healthy, the Bruins could have definitely taken out North Carolina in the Sweet 16 and then faced St. Peter's for the chance at back-to-back Final Four appearances. I love the 1-2 punch of these two. However, they are hardly alone. Freshman star Amari Bailey could have an All-American season. Moreover, Jaylen Clark and Adem Bona are primed to have breakout seasons. The Bruins defend. And they've got experience and an edge. So, why not? For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
