Looking Ahead

Dyshon Sims spent this spring at right tackle, although he might be a better fit at guard. He looked overmatched during the G-Day game. Isaiah Wynn could be a good fit at left tackle, but his lack of experience at left tackle makes him an intriguing option but not a slam dunk. Lamont Gaillard excelled at center, but he hasn’t faced any competition.

Ben Cleveland did not play at the G-Day game, so fans can only imagine his fit as a potential starting guard. The incoming freshman did not play either.

Georgia offensive line coach Sam Pittman has his work cut out. Georgia fans can be sure the starters won’t be chosen until after more competition in the fall and even then, the competition might remain fluid. Georgia’s success in 2017 hinges on the offensive line.

With a mix of new blood and a few veterans, Smart can only hope this unit performs better than the 2016 group, and that Georgia’s anemic offense can be resurrected along with championship hopes for the fans.
