Defense
/ Quarterback / Receivers |
| Yikes,
the nation's third
ranked defense loses
only two starters.
Welcome back to
the SEC race Coach
Richt. Jarvis Jones
is one of top three
linebackers in the
country. Quarterback
Aaron Murray set
a school single
season record for
touchdown passes
in 2011 and all
his wide receivers
are back. |
|
| |
| Offensive
Line / Special Teams |
| Gone
from this offensive
line are three full
time starters. The
Dawgs need to locate
a new center and
two tackles before
they can be seriously
considered to be
among the nation's
elite. The departed
Blair Walsh and
Drew Butler have
been long time stalwarts
at both kicker and
punter respectively.

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 2012 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring. |

TAKES |
- Head
coach Mark Richt went from
sitting on the hottest coaching
seat in all of college football
after an 0-2 start to winning
the next 10 games in a row
before losing to LSU in the
SEC Championship Game. Not
only is he off the hot seat,
he is the hottest coach in
the SEC East.
- Quarterback
Aaron Murray has improved
tremendously over the last
couple of seasons and is poised
to toss his name into the
Heisman Race.
- Aaron
Murray has thrown touchdowns
to 10 different Bulldogs this
season. Every pass catcher
is back in Athens.
- This
past season kicker Blair Walsh
became the NCAA’s active
career leader in total points
and punter Drew Butler is
a two-time Ray Guy Award finalist
who took home the hardware
in 2009. Replacing them is
a must for these tight SEC
defensive struggles.
- Winning
football in the SEC requires
a stifling defense and Georgia
is starting to get nasty.
With so much senior talent
dotting the defensive depth
chart, it's reasonable for
this squad to start talking
about more than just getting
back to the SEC Championship
Game.
- Due
to injuries and suspensions,
the Bulldogs have had an array
of ball carriers get an opportunity.
This is the deepest set of
ball carriers in the SEC only
behind LSU.
- The
nation's No. 1 rated five-star
running back out of high school,
Isaiah Crowell, has lived
up to the billing being named
SEC Freshman of The Year.
With all of the attention
being given to recruiting
early enrollee Keith Marshall,
who is rated by Rivals.com
as the No. 1 all-purpose back,
this backfield will play second
fiddle to no one the next
two to three years.
- All
eyes this spring will be on
the Georgia offensive line
trying to replace three full
time starters. This is the
key to everything for 2012.
