Butch Cassidy had the Sundance Kid.

Batman had Robin.

Vanderbilt wide receiver Earl Bennett's got George Smith.

As sidekicks go, the Vanderbilt junior isn't a bad one for Bennett, who leads the Southeastern Conference in receptions and receiving yards.

"I think I help get Earl those opportunities by being a deep threat down field, drawing the safety's eyes off Earl a little," said Smith, the 6-feet, 3-inch, 200-pounder, whose six receptions for 74 yards have complemented Bennett's 28 for 375.

"Also, just catching the ball when it's thrown to me shows I'm a reliable source."
Sometimes, a primary pass-catching threat is only as good as the offense's other options.
