The O-Line is going to be awesome:

There have been a few reports out there recently about just how good this UGA offense could be. Chalk me up as a guy who is very optimistic about it. Yes there are the QB’s and the weapons, but what really separates UGA from their competition is the big guys. The offensive line that was such a train wreck back in 2016, is increasingly becoming dominant.

The line that was so good last year seems to be getting even better. Andrew Thomas looks to have stepped in and already nailed down the left tackle spot. Lamont Gaillard should provide calm leadership for the unit at center. Ben Cleveland continues to be a wrecking ball. Isaiah Wilson brings incredible size to the right tackle spot and its a free for all at left guard.

Right now, UGA has a lot of really good players fighting it out to win jobs on the line. The left guard spot remains the big one that everyone wants. Solomon Kindley who lost the RG job after the Auburn game is currently holding it. I’m not writing off Kendall Baker yet though or some of the other young guys.

Trey Hill already looks better than expected. Cade Mays is battling his tail off and looks like he’s going to get a spot eventually. Netori Johnson looks better for his redshirt and is trying his best to get some reps. Jamaree Salyer hasn’t even arrived yet and he could be the best linemen on the team.

The line has practiced at a dominant level so far this spring and I don’t expect that to change. These big uglies are going to be hard to overcome in 2018, even in the SEC.
