* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players that
received the most playing experience (consistent starters).
NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance of missing
personnel data not listed such as redshirts, transfers,
injuries, incoming recruits, back ups, and alternates.
Their coverage will begin with our full 2004 Preseason

QUICK
ANALYSIS
|
The
Bulldogs proved critics wrong in saying that they
were a one-year wonder. Mark Richt certainly knows
how to utilize his talent down in Athens, and
boy, will he be swarmed with it in '04 - Georgia
returns 10 starters on offense and 8 on defense.
QB David Greene should be on nearly everyone's
Heisman list, as he has already stated he will
return for his senior campaign. Now senior WR
Fred Gibson will have have his chance to prove
doubters wrong after his 2003 season was filled
with injuries. LB Odell Thurman and safety Sean
Jones will draw some All-American hype. Everyone
will be waiting to see what two-year All-American
DE David Pollack will decide concerning his early
pro future. If he returns, oh man! But the weakest
2003 link, the offensive line (3.6 per rush and
allowed 36 sacks), will be the most improved area
as tough lessons learned are turned into strengths.
Back-to-back home tilts versus LSU and Tennessee
in early October will tell much. This year's second
ranked scoring defense only has to change allowing
over 40% of opponents' points (54 of 125, so far)
from being scored in the fourth, and increase
their meager sack total of 18. But letting only
four rushing TDs makes their front-seven that
much more feared for '04. Inexperience at both
CB spots will prove to be a test for the Dawg
secondary. These few areas, if improved, should
afford lofty expectations from the Dawg faithful.
