Kirby Smart and Georgia football are in the midst of their second bye week, so what better time to evaluate their season and think about key areas of improvement going forward?

We all know that's what Smart and the entire program have been doing this week, so why not have some fun and do that as fans as well?

There are a lot of areas that Georgia needs to improve on if they want to reach their goals, but a few things definitely stand out more than others. So here are three important keys for Georgia as they get set to enter the final stretch of their regular season next week.

1. Improved connection between Carson Beck and receivers

It's no secret that Carson Beck and the Georgia wide receivers have been struggling recently. Beck has had issues with his timing, accurate passes and turnovers, and that was best seen over the last two games.

Beck had five interceptions in the Mississippi State and Texas games combined. Most recently he also only compleated 56 percent of his passes against Texas as well.

None of those stats are good enough and they need to improve immediately. In order to help Beck improve his numbers, the Bulldogs' wide receivers need to be better as well. They are in the midst of a widespread issue with dropping the ball, even when Beck puts the pass right on the money. The last thing the receivers can do when their quarterback is struggling a little is dropping the good balls he throws.

So overall, the passing game needs to be a lot better. Georgia can only count on their defense and run game for so long. And with the amount that Georgia has been relying on the pass (second in attempts in the SEC this season) this has got to be better or else the offense will continue to be inconsistent.
