The Bulldog have all the makings of what could be a great offensive year in terms of production. Pending that no injuries happen during spring practice the Bulldogs will be returning 10 offensive starters. The main reason though why nobody is really talking about the Bulldogs and how great they can be next year is because the one new starter will be the QB. Joe Cox graduated and left the Bulldogs with three QB's that have not played more then 10 snaps combined in NCAA football. Here is a list of why the Bulldogs should be ranked top 15 nationally by the end of the 2010 season.
1. All 5 OL Return: The Bulldogs entire offensive line has been together for at least two seasons. With Clint Boling at LT and Ben Jones at C the Bulldogs have two outstanding OL to lead this team. If this unit is able to continue the dominance they ended the season with we will have probably of the best offensive lines in the nation next year. The Bulldogs should have no problem going back to the old Dawg Day's of run first pass second.
2. Ealey/King: Washaun Ealey and Caleb King could be the best RB duo in the NCAA next year. There is nothing better than having two great backs to push each other and make the other better. Last season both backs averaged over 5 yards a carry and combined for over 1,100 yards and 8 TD's. Everyone should remember that Richard Samuel was the starter for almost half the season. So we can only imagine what they will do with a whole season.
3. WR/TE Corp: You cannot talk about the Georgia receivers without first talking about AJ Green, he is arguable the best WR in college football right now. I think he will be extremely important to the Bulldogs but it will be the rest of the bunch that makes the biggest difference. The Bulldogs need Tavarres King or Marlon Borwn to really step up and become a legitimate threat next year to take some of the pressure off Green. If this does not happen you can count seeing two defenders lining up over Green all season. Also having Orson Charles and Aaron White lining up at TE should really help to open the middle up as defenses will have to make sure they account for both. With Charles most teams will have to assign a DB to mark him as he can beat most LB's in man coverage.
4. QB Battle: The QB battle should be interesting. Depending on who wins this battle will determine what type plays we are able to run. If Zach Mettenberger wins out we should see a more pro style offense like we saw when Stafford was at QB. If Aaron Murray or Logan Gray wins out we can see more options, bootlegs and draws as both are more mobile than Mettenberger and offer that aspect of the offense.
