Returning Production:
Former USC transfer JT Daniels returns for his first full season as the starter at QB. Running back Zamir White and tight end Darnell Washington are two of the best returning offensive players in the SEC. Georgia also returns one of the best defenses in the SEC, making it hard to imagine Georgia will not make it to at least the SEC championship.
New Starters:
LSU transfer tight end Arik Gilbert is the best high school tight end ever according to every recruiting site back in 2020. Gilbert improves an already talented but young receiving core.
Schedule Preview
Clemson (Charlotte) (9/4)
If Georgia is legit, they will prove it in Charlotte. This is the best regular season matchup in my opinion during the college football playoff era. Projected Score: Georgia 42, Clemson 38
UAB (9/11)
UAB is no joke but Georgia is too talented. Projected Score: Georgia 52, UAB 28
South Carolina (9/18)
South Carolina is in a new era with Shane Beamer as their new head coach. Thus, they are too far away from beating Georgia. Projected Score: Georgia 45, South Carolina 13
at.Vanderbilt (9/25)
Another easy win for Georgia. Projected Score: Georgia 59, Vanderbilt 17
Arkansas (10/2)
While Arkansas is not a pushover, Georgia should get their third easy win in a row. Projected Score: Georgia 38, Arkansas 21
at.Auburn (10/9)
Georgia should handle Auburn fairly easily but this one is on the plains so it could be a trap game. Projected Score: Georgia 34, Auburn 17
Kentucky (10/16)
Kentucky might finish second in the SEC East. That is how good Kentucky is especially on defense. However, they are not nearly as good as Georgia. Projected Score: Georgia 38, Kentucky 28
Florida (Jacksonville) (10/30)
Georgia will win this game. Projected Score: Georgia 42, Florida 27
Missouri (11/6)
Missouri can score points but Georgia will score more. Projected Score: Georgia 49, Missouri 45
at.Tennessee (11/13)
Similar to the South Carolina game, Tennessee will be in their first year under new head coach Josh Heupel. This game could set up as a trap game but the amount of talent Georgia has will not let it happen. Projected Score: Georgia 38, Tennessee 10
Charleston Southern (11/20)
Georgia should destroy Charleston Southern. Projected Score: Georgia 42, Charleston Southern 17
at.Georgia Tech (11/27)
Georgia Tech is not nearly as talented as Georgia. Georgia wins easily. Projected Score: Georgia 38, Georgia Tech 14
