No. 2: Hutson Mason – Georgia Bulldogs
Hutson Mason has waited patiently in the shadows of Aaron Murray and will have a chance to show this year that this will not be a “Joe Cox” situation. Mason got some experience after Murray’s season-ending injury last year, and after a rough start against Georgia Tech, he came back and led Georgia to a win against their in-state rivals. Mason is set up in possibly the best situation of any SEC east quarterback with the offensive weapons Georgia is returning this year, but there are still questions surrounding what he can and can’t do with the ball.
