Georgia Football: Offense “Light Years” ahead of last season

Kirby Smart says Georgia football’s offense is light years ahead of 2020.

This time last year we all remember that the University of Georgia’s campus was a ghost town. Every student was sent home and spring practice was canceled. Fast-forward a year and Georgia football has already wrapped up its first two spring practices. According to Kirby Smart, the offense has really caught his eye.

“I don’t know how to measure that. They’re light years ahead of where they were. We didn’t have

this last year, so I can’t even answer that question because we did not even have anything. We didn’t know who we were, we had no identity, we didn’t even know who JT Daniels was. We were a lot different offensively. They’re doing things that last year they weren’t doing until maybe halfway through the season, and now we’re doing lots of them”, Smart told reporters after Thursday’s workout.

This ties in well with what most people are expecting from Georgia football’s offense this season. With a full spring for Todd Monken to install his offense and for Daniels to improve his relationship with his receivers, you should see a huge difference in Georgia’s offense from last season to this one.

However, I think the biggest thing to take from this quote is what Smart said at the end. Lots of fans and media personnel have been claiming that Smart needs to unhandcuff the offense and come out of the stone age with his offensive philosophy. Smart pointed out that they are working on concepts they didn’t get to use until midseason last year and they are doing even more of them in practice.

This means that there were a lot of tricks left in Monken’s bag that didn’t get used last year. Which would most likely point to the execution from the quarterback position and the youth at receiver. This year that shouldn’t be a problem because, as mentioned before, there should be more time this spring to install even more and work on those relationships between quarterback and receiver.

Bottom line this statement by Smart says a lot about what to expect from Georgia football’s offense this season. There were a lot of missed opportunities last season. Signs are hopeful, so far in practice, that they may not be the case this season. Get ready to see a side of Georgia football that you haven’t seen before.
