Three-Star Recruit
As promised....
The offensive line is very good, but right tackle John Theus (soph) is inconsistent. He is the weak point. His backup is Kolton Houston, a kid who made national headlines for banned substances in his system for years after a high school injury where the doctor pumped him up with some stuff. 3 years later, he could finally pass a piss test. He should be starting, but Theus has earned his starting spot as well. After Theus gives up 2 sacks, you'll see Houston in there. Then the sacks will stop. Put Gregory on Theus, "the viking"..
Todd Gurley hasn't been himself since his ankle injury. Most chalk it up to the fact he got out of shape while he was healing. He's still a 6 ypc back, but he doesn't have those yards after contact that he used to. Hopefully for Georgia, the time off before the bowl will have him back to 100%. The good news for Nebraska is that Gurley's backup Keith Marshall is out for the year with a torn ACL. The bad news for Nebraska is that true freshman 4th string running back Brendan Douglas (#22) is an incredibly good running back. You'll see him in the backfield, and you'll think "Oh, they've got a white half-back in the backfield, he must be a good blocker, this is going to be a pass play".
Georgia's receivers are a confusing story. First we lost Mitchell (ACL) in the first game of the year. His backup, an unknown named Justin Scott-Wesley proved to be an excellent replacement, leading the team in receptions and yards for the next 4 games until he also tore his ACL. Right around the same time, our next best receiver (you'll remember him from last year), Michael Bennett (the white receiver) tore his miniscus. He was back 3 weeks after surgery, so thankfully it wasn't too bad. Then he missed another game due to bruised ribs for a big hit he took on a touchdown reception over the middle. His backup is "the other white receiver" Rhett McGowan, a former walk-on. I believe he caught a TD in the bowl game last year. Another great receiver named Chris Conley has also been battling an ankle injury through most of the year, but is now healthy. A ray of hope has been true freshman Reggie Davis, who holds several state track records. If you are still reading this paragraph, just remember how it started it... I warned you it was a confusing story. So the short of it is that you can expect to face Chris Conley, Michael Bennett, Reggie Davis, and Jonathan Rumph (juco transfer) getting most of the receiving duty, although Gurley has been in the receiving game alot more recently as well, while our tight ends have seemed to take a step back from receiving.
This is Reggie Davis' first college catch, which also happened to be Murray's 100th TD pass, which also happened to be a UGA record for longest TD pass.
A great catch by Chris Conley this season....
The only other thing there is to say about our offense is that Murray is out forever and Hutson Mason is in.
I will make another post about Hutson "The Slaw Hammer" Mason as well as a quick rundown on our defense.
