1. It doesn’t matter who starts at QB for Georgia

Georgia football has had a lot of questions surrounding its quarterbacks this season. JT Daniels was the undisputed starter at the beginning of the year.

However, after some injuries to Daniels, former walk-on Stetson Bennett IV stepped in and played well in the games he’s started. Fans across social media have their opinions on who the quarterback should be, but Kirby Smart continues to say in press conferences he will start the one who gives them the best chance to win.

However, Georgia is littered with weapons on offense that it might not even matter who the quarterback is. Receivers Arian Smith, Jermaine Burton, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and Kearis Jackson, who all struggled with injuries this year, look to be back at 100 percent. Georgia also has running backs Zamir White and James Cook, and tight ends Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington all making an impact this year.

With so much firepower on offense, Georgia can find ways to get them the ball, whether it’s through a deep pass, screen route, reverses, etc. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken has lots of weapons to play with on this offense, regardless of who the one giving them the ball is.

One potential red flag to keep in mind on Georgia’s offense is the offensive line. Senior Jamaree Salyer was out of this game for Georgia and will be out next week. The offensive line struggled at times today to dominate the line of scrimmage, so it will be interesting to see how Salyer’s loss will impact Georgia as a whole in the future.
