Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray has guided the Bulldogs offense to one of the best seasons in school history.Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was a redshirt freshman quarterback for the Bulldogs in 1994, and he was responsible for calling the plays for last season’s Bulldogs.
Those were two of the most prolific offenses in Georgia football history until this year’s team started racking up the yards and points. The No. 3 Bulldogs already have set the school’s single-season touchdown mark at 56 with three games remaining, but Bobo is not quite ready to anoint this year’s version as the best he’s witnessed.
“It’s got a chance to be,” Bobo said after Saturday’s 45-14 dismantling of Georgia Southern. “I think we’ve got to wait until the season is over to say that. At the beginning of the year, we said we wanted to win every game and to try be the best that’s ever played here as an offensive unit.”
The Bulldogs set a single-game school record by amassing 713 yards in a 56-20 thumping of Florida Atlantic on Sept. 15, and they are on pace to set single-season standards for yardage and points. Georgia is averaging 37.64 points per game entering this week’s game against visiting Georgia Tech, topping the 37.2-point average compiled by the 1942 Bulldogs.
Georgia also is averaging 471.36 yards a game, topping the 466.82 produced by the ’94 team.
