Plenty of talent on offense, but plenty of question marks as well

There are so many reasons to be optimistic about the Georgia Bulldogs on offense. The obvious one is their third-year starter at quarterback in Jake Fromm. Fromm has been a stud the past two years, and he hopes to continue to improve this season.

Fromm will be behind one of the best offensive lines in college football. That’s a good thing, because his receivers are mostly unproven. Almost all of his receivers from last year are now in the NFL. There are no receivers or tight ends with more than 11 receptions from last year returning to the Bulldogs.

Between losing Riley Ridley, Mecole Hardman, Terry Godwin, and Isaac Nauta, the Bulldogs were already behind the 8-ball. The situation only got worse when Jeremiah Holloman was dismissed. It’s going to take some magic from Fromm to keep the passing game at the same level it was last year.

The good news is that Georgia has one of the best running backs in college football with D’Andre Swift. Swift can contribute in both the running and passing game, and he’s going to have to do both in 2019. In his first year as the featured back, a lot is expected. However, he appears to be prepared for the new role. If Georgia wants to succeed, he’s going to have to explode.
