| Of
course this
is all based
on linebackers
Jarvis Jones
and Alec
Ogletree
returning
for their
senior years...a
big if.
Aaron Murray
is in a
position
to be the
best passing
quarterback
in the SEC.
With a great
set of running
backs he
won't be
required
to win games
on his own.
This is
essentially
the exact
same offense.

| Secondary |
The
nation's
No. 3 rated
pass defense
needs to
reload.
The departed
Commings,
Williams
and Rambo
were big
time studs.
Plenty of
depth exists
here. The
question
will be
how the
replacements
react in
the spotlight.

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
2013 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring.

- The
Gurshal combo of freshmen
at running back between
Todd Gurley and Keith
Marshall makes Georgia
a legit favorite to
repeat as SEC East
Champs. Both have
proven home run capabilities.
Also of significance
in that equation is
the fact every single
starting blocker up
front will return.
- Quarterback
Aaron Murray has thrown
touchdown passes to
10 different receivers.
Murray isn't ready
for the NFL but he
is ready to potentially
be the best passing
quarterback in the
SEC.
- If
the Dawgs can stay
healthy at receiver
they should be fine
here. Tight ends Jay
Rome and Arthur Lynch
have also become more
involved in the passing
game and could make
a huge difference.
- These
linebackers are stellar
even if Jarvis Jones
decides to head off
for the NFL. What's
amazing however is
that this was the
SEC's 12th rated run
defense. Given the
experience up front
there can be no excuses
for such poor statistics
again.
- The
good news...this is
one of the premier
pass defenses. The
bad news...the secondary
has been gutted by
graduation. But there
appears to be plenty
of depth. While there
may be questions here,
it won't be a weakness.
Damian Swann is a
dependable cover corner
and a great place
to start.
- With
10 offensive starters
set to return the
Dawgs have to be considered
the preseason favorite
in the SEC East. Even
if the NFL Draft losses
aren't kind to Georgia
this will still be
the team to beat.
Once again the Florida
vs. Georgia game in
Jacksonville will
be the deciding factor
as to who wins this
race.
