The reasons for Georgia’s offensive optimism after last season’s inconsistencies are limitless.

Quarterback JT Daniels is back, as is coordinator Todd Monken. The Bulldogs are deep at receiver, even deeper at running back and are returning veterans such as Warren Ericson, Jamaree Salyer and Justin Shaffer up front.

“I would say the biggest difference from last year would be that we have that continuity,” junior tight end John FitzPatrick said. “We are returning a lot of starters and a lot of great players. We brought in a great deal of freshmen. We are excited, and we are ready to make explosive plays through the pass game and through the run game.

“I think we are going to connect on all cylinders.”

Georgia went 8-2 last season and won the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl despite having a carousel of quarterbacks, with D’Wan Mathis and Stetson Bennett getting opportunities before Daniels took the reins with four games remaining. In those final four contests, the Bulldogs averaged 486 yards and 37.3 points per game.
