Georgia football: What was the Bulldogs’ most entertaining offense?

Georgia football has been around for over 125 years. In that one and a quarter century, the Bulldogs have ran many different offensive styles.

I consider myself a history buff. I think history is important. To recognize trends, to see how things evolve over time or to just honor those who came before you. I enjoy researching the history of lots of topics. But none more so than college football. And especially Georgia football.

Thankfully, my position at Dawn of the Dawg gives me a reason to do more research. But never have I gotten to look back on our teams history more than I have these last three weeks. In researching topics for the Countdown to Kickoff stories, I’ve written about UGA teams from seven decades. And I’m sure I’ll mention every decade at least twice before our countdown is over.

One of the most fascinating things to me about the evolution of football is offense. How teams have invited new ways to score. How offensive styles become fads. New formations that are formed. Old formations that are abandoned. That is especially true in college football which includes the option and wing-T offenses.

Georgia football is no exception to that. Our Dawgs have relied on many styles over the years. At times, UGA has been on the forefront of innovation. In others, they’ve been one of the last teams to pick up on a new trend. And occasionally, they’ve gone down their own path.

Knowing that, and watching all of these classic games and plays from decades ago got me thinking. What offensive style do the Bulldog faithful believe was the most entertaining? What’s your favorite?

Do you reminisce about the 1970’s and 1980’s when Georgia would play our of the I and split backfield with running quarterbacks and powerful running backs? Are you a fan of the pass happy early 1990’s with Eric Zeier? Or how about the pro/spread hybrid Georgia ran with Mike Bobo calling plays? Maybe you’re old enough to remember watching Georgia run out of the single-wing with Frank Sinkwich and Charley Trippi, or the T-formation with Fran Tarkenton and John Rauch?

I invite you, the reader, to comment what your favorite Georgia offense was. As well as your best memories of that style and maybe your favorite play.
