Georgia Bulldogs Handicapping Positives for 2014: A great running game with a senior QB in Mason; a defense that had 9 starters back on defense; an experienced coach of a very good SEC program in recently re-signed Mark Richt.
Handicapping Negatives for 2014: against the spread, coach Richt is basically unreliable; the Bulldogs lost one of their all-time quarterbacks, Aaron Murray. EdgySam is always loath to go with a team that is replacing a 4-year starter at QB.
EdgySam's 2014 Georgia summary: The Bulldogs offense was surprisingly efficient, despite the loss of QB Murray. With 9 starters back on defense, this team should have been a stronger contender for the national title. I like coach Richt, but, there always seems to be an unexplainable loss each year which dooms the Bulldogs. This year the South Carolina and Florida losses fit into that category. Admittedly, I did not predict the Gamecocks would be so beatable, but, I would guess few can understand how the Bulldogs lost to Florida by the score of 38-20. I'm still dumbfounded.
Georgia's 2015 Outlook: The Bulldogs will have a new starting quarterback, but, no matter. Richt will recruit great athletes as usual and Georgia will be a force, as usual. The big question will be the same question I've asked in past years: will Richt's Georgia team avoid those one, or two, unexplainable losses in 2015?
