Georgia Bulldogs UGA logoGeorgia averaged a school record 37.8 points a game last football season, and the Bulldogs have 10 offensive starters returning.
Fifth-year senior quarterback Aaron Murray is poised to rewrite the SEC’s career passing record book. Talibacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall are ready to prove last year’s freshman success was no fluke. And a receiving collection headed by Malcolm Mitchell, Michael Bennett and Chris Conley along with tight ends Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome is eager to contribute as well.
Logic would dictate Georgia is on the verge of an incredibly explosive season, but offensive coordinator Mike Bobo isn’t relying on that kind of thinking as the Bulldogs open preseason practice today.
“The main thing I’m looking for is attention to detail on our side of the ball,” Bobo said last week. “We do have experience and we do have returning players who have made big plays in games, but we’re going to take nothing for granted. Every detail will be of utmost importance.”
Georgia went 12-2 last season and came the closest to playing for a national championship since the top-ranked Bulldogs lost the Sugar Bowl to No. 2 Penn State after the 1982 regular season. A mere 5 yards kept the Bulldogs from rallying from a 32-28 deficit against Alabama in December’s SEC championship, and the Crimson Tide would go on to roll Notre Dame 42-14 in the BCS title game.
