Despite having tailback Todd Gurley for only six games, Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo helped
orchestrate another high-scoring seasonNo matter where Georgia goes for its bowl game or whom the Bulldogs play, one fact won’t change.
The 2014 Bulldogs will have the highest scoring average in program history.
Georgia scored a whopping 500 points in its 12-game regular season for an average of 41.7 points per game. The previous season high of 37.8 points a contest was set by the 2012 Bulldogs, and even if this year’s team gets shut out in a bowl, it would have an average of 38.5.
This has been a most unlikely year to accomplish such a feat, given that Hutson Mason was replacing SEC record-holder Aaron Murray at quarterback, the lengthy injury list at receiver to start the season and the fact star tailback Todd Gurley wound up playing just six games due to an NCAA suspension and a torn ACL.
“A lot has to do with the team,” Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. “A lot of people want to say the offense scored a certain amount of points, but if you look at the turnovers we’ve gotten defensively and the field position we’ve gotten through special teams, I think those go a long way into a scoring offense and scoring points. We’ve done a nice job of protecting the football, and we’ve done a nice job of scoring touchdowns when we’ve been in the red zone, and all those things together are reasons why we’ve scored some points this year.
